Designer Drugs? Biomarkers? Real Personalized Medicine
Co-sponsored with the Pharmaceutical and Health Technology Division
Cancer research has fueled insight into what happens as cancer attacks cells. Lymphomas, correctly profiled, respond better to certain therapies, and show fewer relapses than a standard. Are we coming closer to a time when drugs may be indicated for specific gene types? Insight like this could speed disease regression, and cause fewer adverse events. Let’s discuss a move from “one size fits all” drug therapy to very individualized regimens. What does it mean for the patient? What does it mean for the business of medicine?
Speaker TBA.
