Fulltext PDFThe newly-established view in cancer management is that “one size does not fit all”. Every tumour type is a molecularly unique and complex entity, due to inter- and intra-tumour heterogeneity, not only between patients, but in the same patient as well. Diagnostic and therapeutic strategies should be specifically tailored to each patient, however widely accepted criteria for patient stratification and individualizing treatment are still elusive. Undoubtedly, it is time for oncology to move from basic to translational clinical research and multi-omics strategies can pave the way towards this goal by employing a bench-to- bedside attitude.
