Genomic Precision Medicine in Pediatric Oncology

Genomic precision medicine in pediatric oncology uses an advanced understanding of a child's genetic makeup to tailor cancer treatment specifically to them. By analyzing the unique genetic mutations and characteristics of a child's tumor, doctors can choose targeted therapies that are more likely to be effective and have fewer side effects. This approach not only aims to improve treatment outcomes but also reduces the trial-and-error method of traditional therapies. Ultimately, it strives to provide each child with the most effective, personalized care possible in their fight against cancer.
