How Can Patients and Healthcare Providers Manage Drug Resistance?
Effective management of drug resistance requires a multidisciplinary approach:
Regular monitoring: Frequent imaging and biomarker testing can detect resistance early, allowing for timely adjustments in therapy. Patient education: Informing patients about the possibility of resistance and the importance of adherence to treatment plans can improve outcomes. Collaborative care: Oncologists, genetic counselors, and other healthcare providers should work together to develop and implement personalized treatment strategies.
