Systems medicine paves the way for improved treatment for AML patients

A multidisciplinary team of researchers at the Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland (FIMM), and the Helsinki University Central Hospital has developed a novel individualised systems medicine strategy which enables selection of potentially effective cancer therapies for individual patients. Furthermore, this strategy helps in understanding and predicting drug resistance and may pave a path for individualised optimisation of patient therapies in the clinic for various types of cancers.
