Abstract

Latest years have been followed by substantial achievements in cancer treatment. Precision medicine is a new approach based on molecular profile assessment of each patient. Individual genetic profile is considered when evaluating patient's risk assessment, as well as the genetic profile of the tumor, which can influence response to treatment. Laboratories offer a wide range of genetic tests to ensure a targeted diagnosis for each situation. These laboratories play a crucial role in welcoming patients and ensuring the quality of these exams. Furthermore, they may experience many questions from doctors and patients about the exams and their application in their daily routine. This article addresses the main challenges related to precision medicine in oncology treatment. This new approach is very promising and has benefited many cancer patients. However, some challenges in the application of precision medicine have still been observed, which makes it difficult for patients to access more personalized treatments
