1. A method of identifying a targeted therapy compound selected from protein kinase inhibitors, small molecule inhibitors, and monoclonal antibody-based compounds for personalized medicine, wherein said targeted therapy compound is for precision cancer therapy of a cancer patient, said method comprising, in any order, the following steps:
a) obtaining a tumor sample from a patient,
b) optionally, determining a level of phosphorylated TTP in said tumor sample,
c) providing one or more targeted therapy compound(s) to be tested,
d) treating said tumor sample with said one or more targeted therapy compound(s),
e) determining whether said one or more targeted therapy compound(s) reduce(s) the levels of phosphorylated TTP in said treated sample compared to a control,
wherein a reduction in the level of phosphorylated TTP indicates that said one or more targeted therapy compound(s) is/are effective for treating said patient.
