The benefits of molecular tests in cancer are manifold:
Personalized Treatment: By understanding the specific genetic mutations in a cancer, therapies can be tailored to target those changes. Early Detection: Some molecular tests can detect cancer at an early stage, improving the chances of successful treatment. Prognostic Information: These tests can provide information about the likely course and outcome of the disease. Monitoring Treatment Response: Molecular tests can be used to monitor how well a treatment is working and make adjustments if necessary.
