The Role of Biomarkers in Personalized Cancer Therapy
Personalized medicine has revolutionized cancer therapy by utilizing biomarkers to refine patient selection for specific treatments. Researchers are combining causal and correlative approaches to identify biomarkers that predict response to pactylotaxcel, a common cancer treatment. These predictive biomarkers, like the SSR3 gene, can significantly impact treatment efficacy, reduce unnecessary toxicity, and improve health outcomes. Validation studies, such as the ongoing Phase 2 trial at Northwestern University, aim to refine predictive models by integrating various biomarkers and patient demographics.
