While Precision Treatment is new, it shows promising signs of improved outcomes thanks to cancer Genomic Testing and targeted therapy. Having this additional option in your arsenal will give you more control and confidence to take that first step on your road to recovery.
How Does Precision Medicine Work?
A cancer patient’s tumour is first tested for how it responds to various treatments. Since people’s bodies react differently, doctors then select the best-matched treatment to target the genes that cause cancer cells to survive and grow.
