How Are Biomarkers and Genomics Revolutionizing Cancer Treatment?
The study of biomarkers and genomics has led to personalized cancer therapies. Biomarkers can indicate the presence of cancer and predict how a patient will respond to treatments. Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) enables the identification of specific genetic mutations in tumors, allowing for targeted therapies that are customized to the individual's genetic profile. This approach is fundamental to precision medicine.
