Yes, the odds are great for functional precision medicine (FPM) to be ultimately effective, but if the FPM platform was selected to command and be recognized as leading the hierarchy of cancer's research ultimate goals, enormous time would be shortened. If FPM served just as a universal focused vocabulary to order every forthcoming minor discovery in the field, this will yield efficiencies in resource allocation. Too complicated to explain by me, but I "suspect" many disciplines
and tools such as mathematical models which include principles of mathematical control theory and dynamical systems analysis would be useful to this platform. Single focused current initiative tactics are all essential to cancer research, but hidden from present knowledge are the value of the multi forces comprising the evolutionary successful systematic processes, which permit, the "nasty" elements of aggressive cancer to survive. The effectiveness of uncovering the magnitude, direction, plus other forces, all the parts in swirling combination, will probably offer the quickest way of taming this phenomenon. Just as search is essential to Google, FPM may be essential to cancer research.
