‘Genomic
profiling will change the management of breast cancer’
Till recently, breast cancer was treated according to the
anatomic stage of the disease i.e. tumour size, lymphnode
involvement and extent of the disease (TNM staging). But with
the advent of new gene signature and molecular technology,
it is now possible to classify breast cancer on a molecular
level such as luminal, basal like, ERBB+, HER-2.
‘The
new age challenges are to be met jointly by healthcare industry
and educational institutes’
“Strategic direction for strengthening nursing services
needs urgent intervention and support on five key areas i.e.
human resource planning and capacity building, evidence based
practice, management of personnel, education and leadership,”
said T Dileep Kumar, president, Indian Nursing Council and
Nursing Adviser to the government, while delivering the key
note address at the ‘Nursing Conclave’ organised
in the city last month.
