Targeted Anticancer Therapies and Precision Medicine in Cancer
While the rate of death from cancer has been declining since the 1990s, an estimated 9.6 million people died from cancer in 2018, making it the second-leading cause of death worldwide. There is clearly still an unmet need to improve cancer detection and bring new treatment options to patients. These articles in this Collection represent diverse facets of ongoing efforts in this area, where general knowledge of cancers serves to inform individual patient’s care, and - at the same time - particulars from individual cancer cases contribute to improved resolution of our general knowledge pool.
