How is Imaging Used in Personalized Cancer Treatment?
Imaging plays a pivotal role in personalized cancer treatment, also known as precision medicine. It helps in:
- Biomarker Identification: Imaging can identify specific molecular and genetic markers that guide targeted therapies. - Real-time Monitoring: It allows for the continuous assessment of treatment efficacy and adjustment of therapies based on individual response. - Minimally Invasive Procedures: Techniques like image-guided biopsies and surgeries improve accuracy and reduce recovery times.
