"Accelerating Pediatric Cancer Treatment with Personalized Precision Medicine"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by The Conversation
Cancer remains a leading cause of death, with increasing diagnoses among younger patients. Standard cancer treatments often prove ineffective, leading to uncertain outcomes. Functional precision medicine, which involves testing drugs on tumor samples to identify the most effective treatments, has shown promising results in improving outcomes for cancer patients, particularly in children. This approach, combined with DNA analysis and artificial intelligence, holds potential for providing personalized cancer treatments and is being further studied in clinical trials to help more patients access tailored therapies.
