An Innovative Approach to Navigating Patients Through Cancer Diagnostics: Precision Medicine Stewards: Applying Precision Principles to Biomarker Testing Processes to Improve Patient Access

Abstract

P recision medicine is all about the details. It is stepping away from a one-size-fits-all approach for cancer diagnostics and when implemented correctly, ensures each patient has access to the most appropriate biomarker testing and associated treatment options. Therefore, it is only natural that with the transition to more complex testing, cancer programs can benefit from customizing their staff as well, by designating a precision medicine expert to navigate the labyrinth of biomarker testing processes and results.
