How Does KEGG Facilitate Personalized Medicine in Cancer?
Personalized medicine aims to tailor treatments based on the individual genetic makeup of a patient. KEGG supports this by providing detailed pathway maps that can be used to understand the specific molecular profile of a patient's tumor. By integrating genomic data with KEGG pathways, clinicians can identify which pathways are altered in a patient’s cancer and select therapies that target these specific changes, leading to more effective and personalized treatment strategies.
