Core Tip

Core Tip: This review emphasizes the importance of precision medicine in cancer treatment, highlighting the role of molecular biology in identifying specific genetic markers for more accurate prognosis and targeted therapies. We discuss the main biomarkers, such as alpha-fetoprotein and programmed death-1, and the revolutionary impact of bioinformatics in the diagnosis of neoplasms. Techniques such as liquid biopsy and immunohistochemistry gain prominence for early detection as a directional tool for therapies. The review also addresses challenges, including costs and tumor heterogeneity, advocating collaborative efforts to ensure these advances are accessible to all.
