Objective:

To explore the evolution of precision oncology through the integration of molecular mechanisms, multi-omics technologies, functional disease models, and clinically realistic trial design for personalized cancer care.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • Cancer is a dynamic biological system influenced by multiple regulatory layers.
    • Epigenetic alterations play a significant role in cancer metastasis and therapeutic resistance.
    • Omics technologies aid in the identification of molecular subgroups and therapeutic vulnerabilities.
    • Functional modelling using patient-derived organoids shows promise in predicting treatment responses.
    • Integrated diagnostic approaches can reduce uncertainty in clinical decision-making.
    • Multiple primary lung cancer is underrepresented in clinical trials, affecting evidence generation.
    Interpretation:

    The articles collectively advocate for a multidimensional approach to precision oncology, emphasizing the integration of various biological and clinical factors in treatment decisions.

    Limitations:
    • Current biomarkers have limitations and require more refined patient selection.
    • Multiple primary lung cancer is underrepresented in clinical trials, affecting evidence generation.
    Conclusion:

    The future of personalized cancer care relies on the integration of diverse methodologies and a comprehensive understanding of cancer biology.
