Michael Kolodziej, MD, National Medical Director for Oncology Strategies, Aetna, says that the rapid emergence of precision medicine was one of the more interesting topics discussed at the ASCO 2013 Annual Meeting. Dr Kolodziej discussed the importance of understanding how the information on specific genetic mutations to tailor therapy that is optimal for each patient will be used.
