Precision Medicine and Impact of Therapeutic Drug Levels

Overview / Abstract:	Much has been written recently about the need for genetic testing and biomarkers to identify specific targets within cancers, recognizing that there are many subclones and individual differences within the malignancies that arise in patients, even in those with morphologically similar cancers. Another important aspect of cancer treatment is the need to optimize the dose and schedule of administered therapies. Pharmacogenomics has demonstrated that the bioavailability and half-lives of anti-cancer agents are as varied as the unique genetics of individual cancer cells. This activity will provide the basics of the conundrum of drug dosing and the importance of adjusting treatments for optimal effectiveness and limiting toxicity.
