Episode 46: Precision Medicine, Biomarkers and Genitourinary Cancers
Biomarkers are windows into health, like a cholesterol or PSA test. Precision medicine biomarkers enable us to refine clinical targets, and identify more precise cancer risks, diagnoses & treatments. This new health care trend translates into better cancer care & reduced collateral damage, especially for prostate cancer.
