What precision medicine is
Precision medicine uses information about each patient’s genes, proteins and environment to choose treatment. In oncology, for example, two tumours that look the same under the microscope can carry different genetic changes and respond to different treatments.
What it includes
- Tumour genomic profiling – sequencing that identifies mutations that can be targeted by treatment;
- Liquid biopsy – analysis of tumour DNA in the blood, useful for monitoring;
- Hereditary genetic testing – for patients and families at increased risk;
- Targeted therapy and immunotherapy – chosen according to the results;
- Clinical trials – access to treatments under research, for eligible patients.
Our role
We connect you with centres that perform these tests to high standards and, above all, have multidisciplinary boards able to turn the results into a treatment plan. We organise the transfer of tissue samples, translation of reports and discussions with specialists.
Genetic testing does not always reveal a new treatment option. It matters that results are interpreted by experienced doctors, and we tell you this openly from the start.
