How Precision Medicine Will Help Accomplish Goals of President Biden’s Cancer Pledge
President Biden recently announced a multi-faceted cancer pledge with the goal of reducing mortality from the disease by 50 percent during the next 25 years. Dr. Milan Radovich, Senior Vice President and Chief Precision Medicine Officer at Caris Life Sciences ® discusses precision medicine and why some treatments work well in some patients and not others with the same diagnosis. He talks about the lack of strategies to develop treatments for some cancers and not targeting the right treatments to the right patients; how to apply comprehensive molecular and clinical insights to help identify effective therapies; and why innovations such as liquid (blood) biopsy are charting the future of early disease detection and diagnosis.
