Review Article Enabling personalized cancer medicine through analysis of gene-expression patterns

Abstract
Therapies for patients with cancer have changed gradually over the past decade, moving away from the administration of broadly acting cytotoxic drugs towards the use of more-specific therapies that are targeted to each tumour.
