Precision medicine is a novel method for treating and preventing diseases. In this treatment approach, genetic, molecular make up, environment and life style of the individual are evaluated to predict the treatment that works for the patient. Precision medicine is a growing field of research that is revolutionizing the way advanced cancers, such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), are managed.

This type of cancer affects the liver and is one of the most common types of liver cancer. It is often aggressive and can spread quickly. By leveraging precision medicine, physicians are able to better understand the genetic and molecular basis of each individual’s tumor, allowing them to develop a personalized treatment plan that is more effective and less toxic than traditional methods.

Precision medicine begins with identifying the genetic and molecular features of an individual’s tumor. Through this process, physicians can better understand the biology of the tumor and identify potential therapeutic targets. This allows them to develop a more effective treatment plan tailored to each individual patient. For example, genetic testing of HCC may reveal mutations in genes such as TP53, CTNNB1, and PTEN that can be targeted with targeted therapies. Additionally, physicians can use next-generation sequencing to analyze the tumor’s whole genome and develop personalized treatments based on the individual’s unique genomic profile.

Once the molecular and genetic features of the tumor are identified, physicians can use precision medicine to develop a personalized treatment plan. This may include targeted therapies, immunotherapy, or systemic therapy. Additionally, physicians may be able to identify biomarkers that can be used to monitor the patient’s response to treatment and adjust the treatment plan accordingly.

Precision medicine enables treatments to be targeted to the right patients with best available treatment, to avoid therapies that are unlikely to be effective, less drug wastage and fewer side effects. Through earlier diagnosis, avoidance of unnecessary treatments, better outcomes in the disease, precision medicine provides advantages for patients and healthcare systems.
