Patient-focused treatment strategy Need to define the optimal setting for each treatment the best treatment for each given patient For any given patient, treatment decisions require consideration of multiple factors disease characteristics patient characteristics treatment aim and previous treatment history
Which parameters potentially influence treatment choices? Disease characteristics sites and number of metastases tumour histology MSKCC risk Patient characteristics age cardiac risk renal impairment general comorbidities/overall health of patient Treatment aim and previous treatment history objective of treatment suitability for cytokine therapy failure of prior therapy
