Advances in high-throughput technologies and their involvement in the 'omics' of cancer have made possible the identification of hundreds of biomarkers and the development of predictive and prognostic platforms that model the management of cancer from evidence-based medicine to precision medicine. Latin America (LATAM) is a region characterised by fragmented healthcare, high rates of poverty and disparities to access to a basic standard of care not only for cancer but also for other complex diseases. Patients from the public setting cannot afford targeted therapy, the facilities offering genomic platforms are scarce and the use of high-precision radiotherapy is limited to few facilities. Despite the fact that LATAM oncologists are well-trained in the use of genomic platforms and constantly participate in genomic projects, a medical practice based in precision oncology is a great challeng...

Percentage of Drug abuse in Peruvian population is being determined only with inquiries and no toxiccological analysis is done. For the present study, 55 National High Schools from Lima, Perú, were selected considering those with high student population. The students age fluctuated between 15 and 19 years old, and 13 301 samples were analysed. The analysis results indicated that 15.9% of students had consumed cocaine; 9.9% marijuana; 0.7% benzodiazepine; 0.3% barbiturates and no one had consumed amphetamines. At the same time of sample collection, an inquiry, was performed results but the did not agree with the ones obtained from toxicological analysis. So, we concluded, that inquiries do not demonstrate the real percentage of drug abuse, since they are not answered with responsability by fue students, may be because of fear or shame to their drug-dependence situation.
