Chemo-radiation currently serves as first-line therapy of advanced and recurrent head and neck cancer, while new chemotherapy regimens are emerging. However, response rates to any treatment are difficult to predict and underlie broad variation. This study shows the development of a standardized, high-throughput in vitro assay to assess patients' individual response to therapy regimens as a future tool for personalized tumor therapy.

Spheroid-based 3D Cell Cultures Enable Personalized Therapy Testing and Drug Discovery in Head and Neck Cancer.

Molecular component-resolved diagnostics (CRD) are, in addition to its research applications, being increasingly used in daily allergological routine. CRD offers improved diagnostic accuracy via a better understanding of the underlying allergen causing symptoms and helps to distinguish between true sensitization and cross reactions in polysensitized patients, thereby providing an approach for individual personalized therapy. Particularly in food allergies and anaphylaxis, CRD can stratify risks for the recurrence of reactions and their severity. The education and extended vocational training of clinical allergologists has to keep pace with the tremendous increase of knowledge in the field of molecular allergology.
