Precision Oncology in Gurugram
Personalized Cancer Treatment by Dr. Rajit Rattan
What is Precision Oncology?
Precision oncology is an advanced approach in cancer care that uses genetic, molecular, and biomarker testing to tailor treatment specifically to an individual patient’s tumor biology. Unlike traditional one-size-fits-all therapies, precision oncology identifies the unique mutations driving cancer growth and targets them with highly specific therapies.
Why Precision Oncology Matters in Cancer Treatment
Improves treatment effectiveness by targeting cancer-specific mutations
Reduces unnecessary side effects by avoiding ineffective therapies
Enables personalized treatment plans for each patient
Helps in selecting targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or combination treatments
Plays a crucial role in advanced and difficult-to-treat cancers
