In search of customised cancer therapy
Leipzig University Medicine offers a consultation hour at the new Centre for Personalised Medicine, where individual therapies are developed for patients for whom previous cancer therapies have failed.

Prof. Dr Ulrich Hacker and his team study tumours at a molecular level to identify genetic changes that can be used for targeted therapies. This data is compared with international databases in order to find suitable treatment options such as immunotherapies or specific drugs. The interdisciplinary team of the Molecular Tumour Board evaluates the results and makes recommendations, also taking clinical studies into account. Despite great progress, not all cases can be treated. But the centre is optimistic that it will be able to help more and more patients. Florian Lordick encourages oncologists to consider personalised medicine, because often more is possible than you think.
