What are the Challenges in Monitoring Treatment Response?
Several challenges can complicate the monitoring of treatment response in cancer patients:
Tumor Heterogeneity: Cancer cells can differ significantly within the same tumor or between primary and metastatic sites, affecting how they respond to treatment. Access to Advanced Technologies: Not all healthcare facilities have the necessary resources or technology to conduct sophisticated tests such as genomic sequencing. Interpretation of Results: Understanding and correctly interpreting complex test results require specialized knowledge, which may not always be available.
