How is personalized medicine transforming cancer care?
Personalized medicine tailors treatment to the individual characteristics of each patient, leading to more effective and targeted therapies. This approach relies heavily on technologies such as genomic sequencing and bioinformatics to identify specific genetic mutations and biomarkers. Personalized medicine enables oncologists to choose therapies that are more likely to be effective for a particular patient, thereby improving outcomes and reducing unnecessary side effects. The development of biomarker-driven therapies and the use of companion diagnostics are key components of this transformative approach.
