Druggable genome and precision medicine in cancer: current challenges.

The past decades have seen tremendous developments with respect to "specific" therapeutics that target key signaling molecules to conquer cancer. The key advancements with multiomics technologies, especially genomics, have allowed physicians and molecular oncologists to design "tailor-made" solutions to the specific oncogenes that are deregulated in individual patients, a strategy which has turned out to be successful though the patients quickly develop resistance. The swift integration of multidisciplinary approaches has led to the development of "next generation" therapeutics and, with synergistic therapeutic regimes combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors to reactivate the dampened immune response, has provided the much-needed promise for cancer patients.
