The prevalence and mortality associated with breast cancer have forced healthcare providers to leverage surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy to achieve a cure. Whereas mortality has significantly dropped over the decades, long-term toxicities and healthcare costs are prohibitive. Therefore, a better understanding of tumor biology through molecular profiling is being utilized for de-escalation of treatment where appropriate. As research evolves, there is growing evidence that less aggressive treatment regimens, when appropriately tailored, can be equally effective for certain patient populations. This approach not only enhances the quality of life for patients by reducing the financial, physical, and emotional burdens associated with more invasive therapies but also promotes a more personalized treatment strategy. By focusing on precision medicine and understanding the biological characteristics of tumors, healthcare providers and patients can make informed decisions that balance safety with efficacy. The field of molecular profiling is a promising avenue for precision-targeted de-escalation and escalation of therapy to minimize the risk-benefit ratio.
与乳腺癌相关的患病率和死亡率促使医疗服务提供者采用手术、化疗、放疗和免疫疗法来实现治愈。尽管几十年来死亡率显著下降,但长期毒性和医疗成本令人望而却步。因此,通过分子图谱更好地了解肿瘤生物学正被用于在适当情况下降低治疗强度。随着研究的发展,越来越多的证据表明,对于某些患者群体,经过适当调整的侵袭性较小的治疗方案可能同样有效。这种方法不仅通过减轻与更具侵入性治疗相关的经济、身体和情感负担来提高患者的生活质量,还促进了更个性化的治疗策略。通过专注于精准医学并了解肿瘤的生物学特征,医疗服务提供者和患者可以做出明智的决策,在安全性和有效性之间取得平衡。分子图谱领域是实现精准靶向治疗降级和升级以最小化风险效益比的一个有前景的途径。
