How Can Proteomic Data Contribute to Precision Medicine?
Proteomic data is a cornerstone of precision medicine in cancer. By providing detailed information about the protein landscape of individual tumors, proteomic data enables the identification of unique molecular signatures that can guide personalized treatment strategies. For example, if a particular protein is found to be overexpressed in a patient's tumor, targeted therapies that inhibit that protein can be administered. This tailored approach increases the likelihood of treatment success and minimizes adverse effects.
