Real time dynamic imaging and current targeted therapies in the war on cancer: a new paradigm.

摘要: In biology, as every science student is made to learn, ontology recapitulates phylogeny. medicine, however, oncology polemology, the of warfare: The medical establishment transitioning from highly toxic poisons that kill rapidly dividing normal and malignant cells with little specificity tailored therapies target tumors lethality therapeutic warhead. From advent information age incorporation high-tech intelligence, reconnaissance, surveillance has resulted in "data fusion" where a wide range collected near real-time can be used redesign most treatment strategies currently clinic. community begun transition 'black box' tumor therapy based solely on clinical response 'glass dynamic imaging designed bring transparency battlefield during treatment, thereby informing decision 'retreat or repeat'. microenvironment dynamic, constantly changing intervention, therefore assessment must map this variable ever-changing landscape non-static capabilities. path personalized medicine will require integration at bedside into practice for real-time, interactive targeted therapies. application advanced real time techniques along current molecularly anticancer which alter cellular homeostasis enhance interventions cancer patients further improve status management cancers.
