Silver Lining to Cancer Care - Personalised Precision Oncology | Dr. Sewanti Limaye

Personalized precision oncology is a rapidly developing field of cancer care that focuses on tailoring cancer treatments to the specific genetic characteristics of an individual's cancer. This approach to cancer care has the potential to offer several benefits, including more effective treatments and reduced side effects.

One of the key advantages of personalized precision oncology is that it allows doctors to identify specific genetic mutations or alterations that are driving a patient's cancer. This information can be used to select the most appropriate treatment for that particular cancer, which can be more effective than a more generalized treatment approach. In some cases, personalized precision oncology may also allow doctors to identify potential targets for new drugs or therapies that could be developed specifically for that patient's cancer.

Another benefit of personalized precision oncology is that it can help reduce the risk of side effects associated with cancer treatments. By tailoring treatments to the specific genetic characteristics of a patient's cancer, doctors may be able to avoid treatments that are unlikely to be effective or that could cause unnecessary harm. This can help improve the quality of life for cancer patients and reduce the burden of treatment.
