Accurate understanding of tumor characteristics

Information at the molecular level helps medical teams gain a deeper understanding of tumor characteristics.

Each patient’s tumor biology and physical condition may be different.

Personalized analysis, through advanced testing technology, provides medical teams with more information,

helping to explore more suitable health management directions and follow-up plans.

Precision medicine integrates molecular and biological insights to provide additional perspectives for cancer care
In certain studies on recurrent ovarian cancer, biomarker-guided strategies have shown trends toward improved response rates and disease control duration, suggesting that individualized analysis may offer value in specific contexts.
In some precision-matched strategies, studies have observed:
  • Treatment response rates show an improving trend
  • Progression-free survival has been extended in some individuals
  • Overall survival observations indicate potential for improvement

How Precision Medicine Supports Treatment Decision-Making
Understanding tumor characteristics at the biological and molecular level can provide additional reference insights, helping healthcare teams make more informed decisions regarding treatment selection and sequencing.
Conventional Treatment Pathway
Diagnosis
Treatment planning based on clinical guidelines
Initiation of treatment
Imaging and clinical evaluation
Physician assessment of treatment response
Adjustment or change of treatment approach Mainly based on imaging changes
Decisions are primarily based on clinical experience and imaging results.
Care Pathway with Precision Medicine Integration
Diagnosis
Clinical evaluation + molecular and biological analysis
Integrated information for planning
Continuous monitoring during treatment
Physician assessment of response Combining imaging and biological signals
Adjustments based on comprehensive information
Biological insights can provide additional reference, supporting more personalised decision-making.

CTC and ctDNA — Different Yet Complementary Biological Insights
ctDNA (circulating tumor DNA)
  • Detects gene mutation information
  • Helps track tumor genetic changes
  • Suitable for long-term molecular monitoring
  • Does not provide intact viable tumor cells
CTC (circulating tumor cells)
  • Provides intact tumor cells for analysis
  • Enables drug sensitivity testing
  • Has prognostic reference value in multiple solid tumors
  • Not primarily used for detailed mutation tracking
