Genetic validation is crucial for several reasons:
Targeted Therapies: Identifying and validating genetic mutations can lead to the development of targeted therapies that specifically address the molecular mechanisms driving the cancer. Personalized Medicine: Understanding the genetic basis of a patient’s cancer can help tailor treatments to their specific genetic profile, improving efficacy and reducing side effects. Early Detection and Prevention: Genetic validation can aid in the development of screening tools and preventive measures for those at high genetic risk. Research and Development: It provides a solid foundation for further research and drug development, ensuring that resources are invested in promising targets.
