Why Hospitals Need to Focus More on Personalize and Customize Precision Treatment in Oncology? - Dr Manoj Lokhande
Offering tailor-made treatment for patients will bring a revolutionary change and successful prognosis of cancer. This article highlights the role of customized treatment plans in improving the quality of life of cancer patients.
Currently, the healthcare sector is evolving rapidly owing to the help of cutting-edge technology. The emerging concept of personalized and customized precision treatment is like a game-changer in the field of oncology that can be beneficial in various ways and help save lives.
By considering certain factors such as genetics and lifestyle habits, doctors can provide effective treatments that fit each patient's medical needs. This ensures that the treatments work successfully by making healthcare more effective and giving hope for a better future.
This is how a tailor-made treatment plan can improve the patient's outcome:
- Personalized precision treatment helps patients acquire top-notch treatment for diagnosing cancer with innovative and advanced technologies increasing positive outcomes. With advancements in technology such as genomic sequencing and targeted therapy options, it is now possible to offer cutting-edge cancer treatments that are customized and customized while considering various factors and addressing each patient's unique needs. This revolutionary shift is essential for an individualized approach and is crucial for ensuring that the quality of life for cancer patients is enhanced with the best possible care.
- The personalized treatment can help create precise and tailored therapies that significantly improve quality of life and also increase survival rate, which can encourage and reassure cancer patients. With this approach, unnecessary healthcare costs are reduced as the treatment plan is tailored based on genetic mutation, biomarkers, and limiting trial-and-error approaches resulting in successful outcomes. The plan is made considering essential factors such as what makes your cancer grow, the type of cancer, and its genetic makeup. This customized remedy enables crafting a powerful diagnosis and effective treatment, compared to the one-size-suits-all approach.
- New technologies like next-generation sequencing have created revolutionary changes by allowing doctors to do in-depth study and research about vast amounts of genomic data. This deeper and more detailed understanding of tumours has led to the creation of targeted therapies. These therapies are specifically designed in a way to directly attack cancer cells based on their genetic profile while saving healthy cells. This personalized approach increases the chances of better outcomes and responses to the treatment, meaning it is possible to shrink the growth of cancer. As a result, the success and survival rates increase while improving the quality of life.
- Moreover, the integration of AI (Artificial intelligence) and machine learning algorithms has become an essential part of crafting personalized cancer treatment plans. These advanced tools help doctors understand and analyse vast amounts of data to make informed decisions about the best treatment option for each patient. By using AI, health providers can identify patterns and decide which treatments are most likely to be more effective, while ensuring that each patient receives the best possible care.
