Abstract

OBJECTIVE. Personalized health care centers around the concept that each tumor and its host environment is unique; optimal treatment and expected response for any given woman presenting with a newly diagnosed breast cancer differ from the care and response of other women.

CONCLUSION. As more is understood about the molecular subtypes of breast cancer and as development of targeted therapies progresses, the possibility of earlier treatment response assessment and even improved detection will be realized.
