Popis: Hippocrates (Kos, c.460–c.370 BC) reminds us that “It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has”. This is still true today and reflects the emerging role of personalized medicine for patient-specific risk stratification and treatment programs. This report documents my personal experience as a patient with aggressive prostate cancer, who, as a scientist, had the privilege to access cutting-edge medical care and molecular profiling.
