Precision Medicine in Gastrointestinal Cancers by Afsaneh Barzi,Norfilza M. Mokhtar,Raja Affendi Raja Ali Pdf
Precision medicine is the main emphasis in healthcare after recognizing the importance to integrate the clinical data with the molecular data of a specific disease. The term was first introduced in 2015 in which the Precision Medicine Initiative was initiated with the final aim to provide targeted therapy with high efficacy and less toxicity. Precision medicine plays an increasingly important in gastrointestinal cancers. Gastrointestinal cancers are divided into the upper (esophagus, stomach) and lower part (hepatobiliary and colon) of the gastrointestinal system. We would like to explore the latest era of integrative therapeutic target in gastrointestinal cancers taking into consideration of various aetiologies including genetic and exposome (dietary factors, microbial, hormonal, environmental insults) and their interactions with the host microenvironment.
