Cancer is a heterogeneous disease manifesting as a variety of intricate subtypes that require different treatment strategies. On page 6233, E. J. H. Wee, Y. Wang, M. Trau, and co‐workers present a rapid multiplexed detection platform for cancer molecular subtyping based on a patient's unique RNA biomarker profile. This platform could allow for effective personalized cancer treatments (i.e. precision medicine).
