The concept of personalized oncology recognizes that cancer is a different process in every single individual; no two individuals are alike and no two cancers — even if they have the same name, diagnosis, or stage — behave the same way. Our approach to personalized oncology at the AMITA Health Cancer Institute operates on three fronts. First, we look at the characteristics of the disease itself: tumor size, histologic type, extent of disease, nodal involvement, and the presence or absence of metastases.
