Pojem personalizovaná medicína nesplývá pouze s individualizovaným terapeutickým přístupem k pacientovi, jeho nutným předpokladem je i individualizovaný přístup k diagnóze. Většina onkologických diagnóz a řada nepostradatelných prognostických znaků je stanovena patology. Patolog má kromě základních histologických metod k dispozici i přístupy morfoproteomické a morfogenomické. Nedílnou součástí soudobé onkologické diagnózy je molekulární vyšetření nádoru, které může prokázat přítomnost molekuly vhodné k cílené terapii a vést k tvorbě molekulárního “pacient-specifického” znaku sloužícího ke sledování minimální reziduální nemoci.
Overview
The concept of personalized medicine is not only an individualized therapeutic management of a patient; its prerequisite is an individualized approach to diagnosis. Most of oncological diagnoses and a many prognostic features are provided by a pathologists. The pathologist uses not only basic histological methods, but also a morphoproteomic and morphogenomic approaches. Integral part of a contemporary oncological diagnosis is a molecular investigation of a tumour, which can both prove the presence of molecules suitable for targeted therapy, and design a molecular “patient-specific” marker for minimal residual disease monitoring.
Key words:
personalized medicine, haematopathology, diagnosis, minimal residual disease.
