How is precision medicine changing the landscape of cancer care?
Precision medicine is transforming cancer care by tailoring treatments based on the genetic profile of an individual's tumor. Advances in genomic sequencing technologies allow for comprehensive analysis of cancer-specific mutations and alterations. Targeted therapies, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies, are designed to inhibit specific molecular pathways driving cancer growth. By focusing on the unique genetic makeup of each patient's cancer, precision medicine aims to improve treatment efficacy and reduce adverse effects.
