Should I use a hyphen in "patient tailored" vs "patient-tailored"?
Being a non-native English speaker, I was wondering which is most correct?
(1) Patient-tailored staging of xx carcinoma, or (2) Patient tailored staging of xx carcinoma?
It is for a scientific paper.
Thank you in advance.
The first is correct. You want the two words to function as an adjective describing the 'staging', so you need to join them together with the hyphen.
