问:听说以后每个病人都可以根据自己的基因组选择适合自己的药物,是这样的吗? 答:有这种可能性。由于不同的机理疾病,可能有相同的表现形式,运用基因诊断的办法,可以了解到疾病发生、发展的分子差异,从而为医生用药提供指导。最近国际上用基因芯片的方法对于某些癌症进行分类研究,它对化疗药物的应用有指导作用。 Q: It is said that each patient can choose the right medicine according to his or her own genome. Is this the case? A: There is such a possibility. Due to different mechanistic diseases, they may have the same form of expression. Using genetic diagnosis methods, one can understand the molecular differences in the occurrence and development of diseases and thus provide guidance for doctors to use drugs. The recent international classification of certain cancers using the gene chip approach has guided the use of chemotherapeutic drugs.
