When Is the Right Time to Start Targeted Therapy?

With cancer, two main factors influence the efficacy of your treatment. They are:

1. How accurate your initial diagnosis is
2. How fast you start the right treatment for your cancer

The reason why so many cancer treatments fail, or go on for so long, is because the initial diagnosis and subsequent treatment are often incorrect. Precision oncology circumvents this waste of time by providing cancer patients with innovative tests that show exactly where the cancer is and what is the cause. This is then complemented by targeted therapies, which have higher rates of success than standard treatment, and fewer and less severe side effects.

CTOAM’s precision oncology specialists will facilitate all necessary testing, analyze and interpret your genetic information and review the most recent, peer-reviewed scientific studies to determine the best treatment options for your form of cancer.
