Summary: | A computerized decision support system and method for predicting which of one or more drugs suitable to treat a cancerous condition in a patient are the optimum drug(s), where such selection is based upon the particular patient's genotype. A PCR kit and/or a gene chip detects multiple genes, expressions and/or mutations associated with a particular cancer using a sample of the patient's tissue or blood. A detector accepts the gene chip and analyzes the patient's genotype; and a computerized system using a database which associates patient genotypes and the efficacy and toxicity of various anti-cancer drugs used in treating patients with a particular cancerous condition connected to the detector correlates the output of the detector to the database to provide a recommendation as to which drugs are optimum for treating the patient's cancer. |
