Personalized/Precision Medicine Clinic

What is Personalized or Precision Medicine?

No two cancers are alike, just as no two people are alike. Precision medicine uses advanced technologies to tailor treatment to your particular tumor. The cornerstone of precision medicine is molecular testing of your tumor's genetic profile.

Depending on the type of cancer you are diagnosed with, you may be a candidate to receive personalized cancer therapy. Your Eisenhower Lucy Curci Cancer Center oncologist in consultation with cancer specialists from UC San Diego, will review your case and genetic testing results to formulate a customized cancer treatment plan, providing more effective strategies and better results - all done at Eisenhower Lucy Curci Cancer Center.
