Personalized Cancer Medicine

Personalized cancer medicine refers to a novel approach to personalized medicine based on an individual’s genome and biological processes. Several investigations have confirmed that specific genes largely control therapeutic outcome in cancer patients and that mutations directly control all stages of cancer development, progression, and response. In personalized cancer medicine, we seek to discover all genetic modifications and variations in each patient’s normal and/or cancerous cells after a thorough consultation. Molecular data are used to determine the genetic risk factor in people with hereditary cancers and for disease management in all cancers. Personalized cancer prevention, personalized chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and gene therapy are some of the leading strategies in personalized cancer medicine today.
