"Metastatic cancers (those that have spread beyond the organ where they originated) account for around 67–90% of cancer deaths2,3, and are almost always treated systemically, meaning with drugs that enter the bloodstream. To improve treatments for people with metastatic cancer, the community urgently needs to shift from using organ-based classifications of cancer to using molecular-based ones. This will require radical changes in how medical oncology is structured, conducted and taught."
@cyrilpedia I sincerely hate this kind of articles that end up on "personalised medicine", "personalise care", and similar conclusions that offer these very appropriate solutions decoupled from the general context of healthcare services, and their conditions. They are a liberal version of a solution in that they never go to the root of the problem: finance public healthcare so everybody can have access to it.
