    AbstractThe topic of precision medicine is increasingly more prevalent in the general medical literature, with oncology research leading the way. Many factors, such as availability of targeted drugs, advances in laboratory science, and improved information systems, converged to make precision medicine research possible on a large scale at the National Cancer Institute. The resultant big data will spur new kinds of research in the decades to come, but until then, all clinicians are challenged to make sense of an overabundance of information when managing individual patients.Published 2017.
