What is integrated cancer medicine?

“A revolutionary new cancer treatment paradigm that captures cancer heterogeneity in time and space in patients receiving active treatment, thereby transforming the way the world treats cancer to accelerate cures for all. By leveraging Cambridge’s world-leading expertise in cancer genomics, liquid biopsies, molecular imaging and 3D tumour mapping, we will generate longitudinal Data Streams that simultaneously report the functional biology of tumours among cancer patients receiving active treatment. The continual, iterative and integrated analysis of these complementary and complex data streams – made possible by advanced machine learning and other computational approaches – will enable a new decision matrix for optimal cancer treatment selection and improved chance of cure.”
