How I faced my prostate cancer: a molecular biologist’s perspective

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 p...
