Decades of advances in molecular biology are now delivering important new diagnostics for Personalized Medicine (PMDx) to determine the patient's response, resistance or toxicity risk before or during treatment, in order to optimize the selection of medical treatments from amongst the alternative options. Patients benefit enormously by not wasting valuable months of treatment time and not undergoing the side effects and physical insult of ineffective or toxic treatments like chemotherapy in cancer.
