陆舜：精准肿瘤学时代基于组织标本的肺癌临床研究

Personalized medicine may be defined as “a medical model using molecular profiling technologies for tailoring the right therapeutic strategy for the right person at the right time, and determine the predisposition to disease at the population level and to deliver timely and stratified prevention”. Progress in the understanding of driven genes and drug actions are opening opportunities to match therapies to lung cancer patient populations, and thus pave the way towards a more personalized medicine. The use of driven genes such as EGFR, ALK, and ROS1 et al can help identify patients that are more likely to respond favorably to a given therapy which is approved by clinical trials. Increasingly, we find application in order to stratify different patient groups in terms of clinical response, so as to develop personalized, preventive or therapeutic strategies.
