Precision Medicine
The cornerstone of managing cancer, but equally crucial for non-neoplastic disorders, is precision medicine. For the optimal individualised treatment, oncologists need knowledge of the underlying gene alterations and the precise histological diagnosis. In this regard, pathologists are crucial since they diagnose tumours and provide details on the mutations found there. Pathologists use glass slides for traditional diagnosis and immunohistochemistry to determine the presence and expression of certain proteins.
Digital Benefits
Digital methods can stratify patient risk profiles, demographics, and socioeconomic factors on multiple levels, allowing therapies to be given to each patient individually. Although most labs do not now use digital pathology on a regular basis, it is the direction in which we are moving.
AI In Precision Medicine
For pathologists, AI is a really intriguing discovery. Using algorithms that may identify areas of interest in a section or categorise straightforward benign cases as such, for example, machine learning may aid routine diagnosis. These tools might aid us in determining whether a specific trait is present or not. There are platforms that can measure the amount of steatosis, or fat in the liver, in liver pathology, albeit they are still at the experimental stage.
How Does Cancer Precision Medicine Work?
A type of medication that prevents, detects, or treats disease using knowledge about a person’s own genes or proteins. In order to diagnose cancer, plan a patient’s course of therapy, assess how well that treatment is working, or determine their prognosis, precision medicine makes use of particular information about a patient’s tumour.
Why Precision Oncology Is Important?
Every person’s cancer is distinct from everyone else’s, made up of a different mix of cellular alterations and gene abnormalities. Understanding precision oncology is crucial since a treatment that alleviates cancer in one person may not always be effective in treating it in another.
What Technology Is Used For Precision Medicine?
Molecular diagnostics, which includes genetic testing, molecular imaging, next-generation sequencing, and molecular dynamics are some of the methods used in precision medicine to detect disease and personalise therapies.
