What do we mean?
Precision Medicine and Precision Oncology are the terms we use to describe:
Advanced diagnostic profiling
Therapeutic interventions tailored to suit
Outcomes followed up
Learnings shared dynamically
Precision Medicine
Using Advanced Diagnostic Profiling we identify how each patient cancer differs at the molecular level
and help physicians to apply more effective treatments 2 2

to excessive intervention
Outcome
We find the people within a group that are most likely to respond to targeted therapy, thereby eliminating waste from either insufficient or excessive intervention.
Insufficient Intervention: Patient receives a false negative result due to less sensitive testing and does not receive the benefit of associated targeted therapy
Excessive Intervention: Patient received a targeted agent without a molecular diagnostic testing that would indicate the appropriateness of the therapy
Insufficient Intervention
Excessive Intervention
Optimal Intervention
