Clinical trials: The regimen of chemotherapy we use today is evidence based medicine- from clinical trials that we have conducted in different type of cancers. Nowadays, cancer therapy is individualized based on the biology of the cancer. The decision in regard to which therapy to choose will depend on they type of cancer, the stage, biology of cancer, overall condition of patients, patient's preferences etc.
