Precision oncology helps Available targeted medicines—solid tumors Biomarker development is accelerating Targeted therapies may improve to improve patient outcomes Over the last 20 years the development of targeted therapies has accelerated, and a large number of such While it took almost 20 years for the first biomarkers to become targets of oncology precision treatments are currently available. Testing for relevant, actionable biomarkers to identify genetic alterations has medicines and to be routinely analyzed, there are many new candidates in late-stage clinical Non-small cell lung (NSCLC) patients who have received biomarker‐driven therapy as the become a necessary and routine part of the oncology patient management process. trials, and we can expect the spectrum to grow rapidly. oncology patient outcomes first line have had even better survival.
