The aim of the Personalized Medicine in Cancer Research RT was to provide an overview on the trends, achievements, and challenges lying ahead in this field. Since the unveiling of the Human Genome Project we have being witnessing an extraordinary revolution in the way in which medicine is perceived, both from the patient's perspective as well as from the practitioner's standpoint. The concept of “personalizing” treatments holds the promise of providing the best possible avenues for disease therapy in the future.
