The future of surgical oncology is not simply to remove more body parts but to better select the best treatment for each individual patient. The area of predictive assays is growing quickly, and although generally mentioned in relation to chemotherapy or radiation response, these assays can also be applied to surgery. More accurate staging is crucial to surgeons in customizing the operative procedure to the individual.
外科肿瘤学的未来并非仅仅是切除更多身体部位,而是要更好地为每位患者选择最佳治疗方案。预测性检测领域发展迅速,尽管通常是在化疗或放疗反应方面被提及,但这些检测也可应用于外科手术。更精确的分期对于外科医生根据个体情况定制手术程序至关重要。
