Precision Oncology for Individualized Cancer Care
Every cancer can behave differently, which is why cancer treatment requires careful clinical evaluation and individualized planning.
Precision oncology focuses on using relevant information about a patient's cancer to help guide treatment decisions. At our centre, precision oncology is part of a broader approach that combines medical oncology expertise, clinical research and evidence-based cancer care.
What is Precision Oncology?
Precision oncology is an approach to cancer care that considers the characteristics of an individual's cancer when evaluating treatment options.
Depending on the cancer and clinical circumstances, relevant information may include tumour characteristics, pathology and molecular or other diagnostic information.
The goal is to support a treatment strategy that is appropriate for the individual patient's clinical situation.
Precision Oncology at Our Centre
Dr. Ankit Batra's professional profile identifies precision oncology among his areas of expertise, alongside solid tumour management, immuno-oncology and clinical research.
His academic and research experience includes work involving:
- Lung cancer
- Breast cancer
- Hematological malignancies
- Acute myeloid leukemia
- Lymphoma
- Biliary tract cancers
- Ewing's sarcoma
- Immuno-oncology
A Research-Driven Approach
Precision oncology continues to develop alongside advances in cancer biology, molecular diagnostics and targeted treatment approaches.
Dr. Batra has participated in clinical research and global Phase III clinical trials and has published research in several oncology and hematology areas.
Who May Benefit from Precision Oncology Evaluation?
Precision oncology may be considered for patients where additional tumour or molecular information could be relevant to treatment planning. The appropriate evaluation depends on the cancer diagnosis and individual clinical circumstances.
Our Approach
We focus on:
- Detailed clinical evaluation
- Understanding tumour characteristics
- Reviewing relevant diagnostic information
- Individualized treatment planning
- Evidence-based oncology
- Access to appropriate clinical research opportunities
