The future of cancer care and treatment lies in the concept of ‘‘personalized medicine,’’a model that focuses on the individual, not just the disease. Personalized medicine in cancer care will need to use molecular signatures to match the right patients to the right drugs, first in clinical trials, then in clinical practice. This is a new paradigm in which information technology, science, and clinical treatment are combined to improve health outcomes and patient satisfaction. It will require unusually large databases, relating both molecular and clinical data, such that patients can be proactively selected for the most appropriate therapies.
