While standardized protocols offer numerous benefits, they are not without limitations. One of the main challenges is that these protocols may not account for individual patient differences. Factors such as age, comorbidities, genetic variations, and patient preferences can influence treatment outcomes. Therefore, clinicians often need to tailor standardized protocols to meet the specific needs of each patient. Additionally, the rapid pace of advancements in cancer research means that protocols can quickly become outdated, necessitating frequent updates.
