Abstract
Complex nature of cancer makes it difficult for clinicians to choose right treatment option for cancer patients. Precision medicine is the recent approach to treat patients based on genetic variability and the pattern of protein expression on cancer cells. It’s very important to know what types of cells are surrounding cancer cells and how cancer cells communicate with its neighboring cells. The new method called Imaging Mass Cytometry, enables researchers and clinician to detect multiple proteins on cancer and its surrounding cells. With the help of this technique clinician can recommend targeted therapy for the better outcome of cancer patients.
