Statistical pitfalls of personalized medicine
Stephen Senn: "Misleading terminology and arbitrary divisions stymie drug trials and can give false hope about the potential of tailoring drugs to individuals."
#MathOnco - Book of the month
Cancer: The Evolutionary Legacy
Mel Greaves: Placing cancer in its evolutionary context, Greaves argues that "we can best answer the big questions about cancer by looking through a Darwinian lens. Drawing on both ancient and more modern evolutionary legacies, he shows how human development has changed the rules of evolutionary games, trapping us in a nature-nurture mismatch."
