Cancer treatment is evolving fast. It is no longer one-size-fits-all; it is increasingly personalized. Molecular diagnostic techniques identify specific mutations or biomarkers in a patient’s cancer, thereby guiding treatment choices.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
The rise of precision medicine<\/b> is drastically changing the healthcare sector, <\/b>shifting the focus to data<\/b> and information.
