biomarker-driven therapy

Biomarker-driven therapy is a personalized approach to treating diseases like cancer, where treatments are selected based on specific molecules or traits (biomarkers) found in a patient's body. These biomarkers can indicate how a disease will behave or how it might respond to certain drugs. By identifying these markers, doctors can choose therapies that are more targeted and effective for the individual, potentially improving outcomes and reducing side effects. This approach shifts treatment from a one-size-fits-all to a tailored strategy, leveraging scientific understanding of the disease's biology for better patient care.
