Precision oncology, also known as personalized or targeted cancer therapy, is a medical approach that:

• Identifies genetic mutations and molecular markers unique to a patient's tumor.
• Uses targeted therapies that attack cancer cells without harming normal cells.
• Optimizes treatment selection to enhance efficacy and reduce resistance.
• Monitors real-time changes in the tumor’s genetic profile to adjust treatment as needed.

This approach is transforming cancer care by moving away from generalized chemotherapy and radiation to highly specific, personalized treatments.
