Definition of «precision cancer medicine»

Precision Cancer Medicine is an approach to treating cancer that uses diagnostic tools and targeted therapies to identify and treat specific genetic mutations or characteristics of a tumor. This allows for more personalized treatment plans, as it takes into account the unique molecular profile of each patient's cancer, rather than relying on traditional one-size-fits-all approaches. The goal is to improve outcomes by delivering the most effective treatments to patients while minimizing harm to healthy tissue.
