Designer Drugs? Biomarkers? Real Personalized Medicine: CoSponsored with DBIO Christina Aquilante, Assistant Professor, Dept of Pharmaceutical Sciences, School of Pharmacy, University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center
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? Wednesday June 6, 2007
