It enables a medical practitioner to select treatment based on a patient's genetic profile. This helps to minimize harmful side effects as well as lead to successful results within a short duration.

Personalized medicines for cancer involves the study of individuals’ genetic make-up that leads to tumor growth. By studying the patient's genetic make-up, an oncologist may customize the treatment depending on the patient's genetic mutations. For instance, Mutations in ALK, KRAS, and EGFR lead to lung cancer. However, identifying the type of mutation in the lung cancer patient provides crucial information for the kind of treatment. Hence, personalized medicine allows the right treatment at the right time, which reduces the mortality rate. Due to these advantages of tailoring the treatment based on individual’s genetic profile, the personalized medicine approach is likely to be a prevalent trend for the cancer tissue diagnostics market.
