Precision cancer medicine has been around for a while as an idea, but is not getting the right execution. It requires great quantities of data warehousing to be performed on individual patients to provide precise personalized medical advice. What is missing is collaboration between medical researchers, computer scientists and clinicians. Medical schools have traditionally been kept apart from hospitals. One exception is proving to be the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York. Advanced computer analytics is being used here as several different strands of the medical system can now collaborate together. High technology needs greater integration with medical research. This will help fight diseases that spring from multiple genetic drivers and not merely histology.
