How Personalized Medicine is Changing the Face of Oncology Treatment for Women

Personalized medicine is a breakthrough that is changing the face of medicine for female oncology patients. Throughout history, the majority of medical research conducted has focused primarily or exclusively on men, creating a knowledge gap between the two genders. Today, with the advent of personalized medicine, women can receive knowledgeable care from physicians. Personalized medicine is breaking the barriers of the current 3 pillars of oncology treatment - radiation, surgery, and chemotherapy - by providing an avenue for female oncology patients to receive higher quality care. Rapid developments in this upcoming field are offering female oncology patients safe, more effective care.
