A generic drug is developed with the same dosage form, safety, strength, route of administration, quality, performance characteristics, and intended use as a brand-name medication. Generics are known as bioequivalent to the name-brand drug, so they demonstrate the same degree of clinical benefit.
The advent of personalized medicine employing molecular targeted therapies has markedly changed the treatment of cancer in the past 10 years. Although tumor tissue biopsy-based genotyping is...
