Precision medicine gives you care options when standard treatments such as chemotherapy and cancer surgery fail to stop cancer. We offer expertise and a broad range of cancer drugs. You receive cancer treatments designed specifically for you.
MultiCare Regional Cancer Center offers promising new cancer care options, including precision medicine. This treatment delivers a level of personalized care that has previously not been available. We examine the genetic makeup of your cancer and prescribe the anti-cancer drugs that give you the best chances for good results.
Highlights of our program include:
Previously, people with the same cancer diagnosis would receive the same treatments. For example, all women with breast cancer that had spread to other areas of the body would receive the same cancer drugs.
Through research, we now know that not all cancers are alike. With precision medicine, we consider the genetic makeup of each individual cancer. You receive cancer drugs based on what’s going on within the cancer cells, at the molecular level. This individualized approach helps many people achieve excellent results.
