Personalized Cancer Treatment
Cancer and Genetics
Tumor cells are diverse, and each patient's body is unique. With advances in technology, cancer treatment is no longer solely determined by location, stage, or type. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology can identify specific mutated genes in tumors, helping match corresponding drugs, including targeted therapy drugs and immunotherapy drugs, to improve treatment efficacy and identify optimal treatment windows.
How Does Cancer Form?
The formation of cancer is caused by a series of genetic mutations in cells that result in uncontrolled growth and the development of tumors.
Why is Genetic Testing Performed Before Cancer Treatment?
In recent years, cancer treatment has shifted toward a "precision medicine" model, where genetic testing is used to identify mutations in cancer cells. Based on the genetic characteristics, the most appropriate drugs can be prescribed, significantly improving the chances of effective treatment. In addition, genetic testing can identify shared mutations across different tumors, providing more treatment options. For example, a lung cancer patient with a mutation commonly found in Breast Cancer may benefit from targeted breast cancer therapies, leading to treatment breakthroughs.
Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) Approach
The MDT approach involves a team of senior specialists, TCM practitioners, and specialized nurses to develop and integrate comprehensive cancer treatment strategies. Treatment plans are tailored and flexible, using a mix of various methods based on the patient's condition, to provide patients with the most personalized and comprehensive care possible.
MDT approach simplifies the patient care process by allowing multiple experts to discuss and exchange information on the patient's cancer diagnoses and condition. After reaching a consensus, the team can recommend and explain the treatment options to the patient, saving time on specialist referrals. This approach provides patients with access to multiple treatment options simultaneously, enabling them to promptly develop the most appropriate treatment plan to seize the golden opportunity for treatment.
