Personalized Nanomedicine

Personalized medicine has recently taken center stage in cancer research and has led to variety of therapeutic success stories in oncological practice. Cancer is an immensely complex, heterogeneous disease that's caused by the interplay of multiple intrinsic (genetic predisposition) and extrinsic (lifestyle) factors. As cancer progresses, genetic drifts within the cell population typically end in heterogeneity with reference to cell antigenicity, differentiation state, proliferation rate, invasiveness, metastatic potential and response to chemotherapeutics.
