Precision in Cancer Treatment

Matching the right therapy, whether conventional or alternative, to the specific characteristics of a tumor is crucial for effective cancer treatment. Simply using any therapy without understanding how it aligns with the tumor's behavior can lead to inadequate results. Precision medicine allows for the development of targeted treatment strategies that account for the unique genetic and metabolic profiles of the cancer. By harnessing advancements in multiomics, including genomics and metabolomics, healthcare providers can create customized therapies that aim to heal the body while actively targeting cancer.
