Personalized and translational approach for malignant brain tumors in the era of precision medicine: The strategic contribution of an experienced neurosurgery laboratory in a modern neurosurgery and neuro-oncology department

Personalized medicine (PM) aims to optimize patient management, taking into account the individual traits of each patient. The main purpose of PM is to obtain the best response, improving health care and lowering costs. Extending traditional approaches, PM introduces novel patient-specific paradigms from diagnosis to treatment, with greater precision. In neuro-oncology, the concept of PM is well established. Indeed, every neurosurgical intervention for brain tumors has always been highly personalized.
