Bless the researchers and doctors, but have you ever gotten the feeling that the medical cancer community modus operandi to treating cancer is to throw everything in the way of treatment at the wall -- the wall being you -- to see what sticks? As a cancer patient, it becomes abundantly clear at a certain point cancer treatments are far from being an exact science. If you have found yourself mumbling something to the effect, "If they can put a man on the moon you think they could have figured this out..." there is hope to your frustrations over cancer treatments and better yet -- cancer prevention.
Personalized cancer treatments are common sense. Imagine if cancer prevention was personalized. Based on an individual's profile, cancer prevention was designed to match each person's cancer risks?
Personalized medicine is the future of medical treatment, for both cancer treatments and cancer prevention. In fact, running a test to determine your exact level of selenium might make a difference in cancer prevention and cancer survivorship. Too little or too much puts you at increased cancer risk. A newly-published report, The Art of Casting Nets: Fishing for the Prize of Personalized Cancer Prevention, outlines the need for creating a profile of a patient based on the unique requirements of the individual patient.
"The central tenet of personalized cancer prevention is that average is overrated," states report co-author Dr David G. Bostwick . "Average may have been a useful concept in the past, but now we are entering a new and exciting era: the era of personalized cancer prevention." It's about time.
