The goal of precision medicine is simply to deliver the right cancer treatment to the right patient at the right dose and the right time. This enhances the likelihood of response and hopefully lowers the risk of toxicity, thereby enhancing the therapeutic ratio. While many of us think of cancer genomics determined by next generation sequencing as the center of precision oncology, whereby an alteration in a particular cancer gene can predict a response to a targeted therapy, many other targeted approaches also comprise precision characteristics. Included in this ever-changing landscape are many biomarkers and targeted therapeutic approaches which when utilized by a patient’s team can result in a highly personalized treatment plan.
