Multiple factors can influence the efficacy of cancer treatments:
Cancer Type and Stage: Different types of cancer respond differently to treatments. The stage of cancer also plays a significant role in determining treatment efficacy. Patient Characteristics: Age, overall health, and genetic factors can impact how well a patient responds to treatment. Tumor Biology: The molecular and genetic makeup of the tumor can influence its sensitivity to specific treatments. Previous Treatments: Prior treatments can affect how well a current treatment works, as cancer cells may develop resistance over time.
