Clinical Evidence & Outcomes
Personalised plans using precision medicine have shown real benefits in studies. They may extend life, slow cancer, and cut costs/side effects. Here’s evidence explained simply.
Have you ever wondered why a cancer treatment that works for one person may not work for another?
Every Cancer Is Unique
Personalised plans using precision medicine have shown real benefits in studies. They may extend life, slow cancer, and cut costs/side effects. Here’s evidence explained simply.
In advanced cancers, these plans double no-worsening time (23 vs. 12 weeks). Overall, survival rates for cancers have risen from 49% to 70% over decades, thanks partly to precision approaches.
How Precision Medicine Helps
Precision medicine provides additional information about how cancer behaves at a biological level.
This may help your doctor:
- better understand your cancer
- monitor treatment response
- evaluate treatment effectiveness
- guide ongoing treatment decisions
It works alongside standard cancer care to support more informed treatment planning.
Chemotherapy As An Example
Chemotherapy is commonly used in cancer treatment, but patients may respond differently to different drugs.
Precision medicine may help support chemotherapy decisions by providing additional biological insight.
This may help your doctor:
- select suitable chemotherapy options
- monitor treatment response
- reassess treatment if needed
- guide future treatment planning
This supports more personalised and informed treatment decisions.

Liquid Biopsy: A Blood Test For Cancer Insight
Liquid biopsy is a blood test that detects cancer-related biological information in the bloodstream.
This may include:
Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA)
Genetic material from cancer cells, providing mutation information.
Circulating tumour cells (CTCs)
Whole cancer cells that may provide insight into tumour behaviour and, in some cases, drug sensitivity.
This test complements scans and other clinical evaluations.
ctDNA provides
• genetic mutation information
• tumour genetic profile
ctDNA is often present in very low quantities, especially in early-stage cancers
CTCs provide
- whole cancer cells for analysis
- insight into tumour behaviour
- potential evaluation of drug response
CTCs can be isolated from blood samples and cultured to evaluate their response to various cancer drugs and natural substances
What CTC tests can provide?
Here is a sample CTC report showing that the chemotherapy drug Bendamustine may be more effective against the patient’s specific cancer.
This kind of information helps practitioners and patients with treatment planning

What is your benefit?
To support improved treatment outcomes by helping identify treatments that may be more effective for your specific cancer — while helping minimise unnecessary side effects from less effective treatments.
Monitoring Cancer Over Time
Cancer can change during treatment.
Your doctor monitors your condition using:
- clinical evaluation
- imaging
- laboratory tests
- biological assessment
Precision medicine provides additional information that may help support treatment planning and ongoing monitoring.
