Abstract
“One-size-fits-all” is a conventional medical approach to treating patients with similar symptoms with similar types of drugs. The effectiveness of various targeted therapies in such diverse tumors has entered an era in which treatment is determined based on the tumor's molecular abnormality profile, or “characteristics,” rather than on the type of tumor tissue or the site of anatomical origin. It improves the prognosis of patients and determines their quality of life. The evolving field of personalized medicinal drugs has significant potential in cancer prevention, diagnosis, and therapeutics. Identifying cancer susceptibility genes, such as the BRCA gene in breast cancer, helps screening programs identify patients at risk for developing cancer and make decisions about individual risk-modifying behaviors. Precision medicine plays a vital role in breast cancer management, e.g., using intracellular agents (Vemurafenib and Olaparib) and monoclonal antibodies (Cetuximab and Trastuzumab) in HER2-positive breast cancer. This review mainly focuses on the role of precision medicine in preventing and treating breast cancer.
