What is it about?

This report presents a strategy of System Biology to select protein targets by integrating interactome and transcriptome data with the purpose of reducing noxious side effects to patients as much as possible. The methodology belongs to a strategy of precision medicine.

Why is it important?

Noxious side effects of cancer therapies with cytotoxic drugs are deleterious for patient's quality of life and are responsible for 70% of clinical costs.

Perspectives

The improvement of patient's quality of life, increase of survival likelihood, and diminution of clinical costs.
