Abstract

The advent of personalized and precision medicine has revolutionized oncology and treatment of gynecological cancer. These innovative approaches tailor treatments to individual patient profiles beyond genetic markers considering environmental and lifestyle factors, thereby optimizing therapeutic efficacy and minimizing adverse effects. Precision medicine uses advanced genomic technologies such as next‑generation sequencing to perform comprehensive tumor profiling. This allows identification of distinct genetic mutations, expression patterns and signaling pathway alterations, revealing the complex molecular landscape of gynecological cancer such as ovarian, cervical and uterine cancer. A major challenge in treating these cancers is their inherent molecular heterogeneity, which can influence tumor behavior, therapy response and prognosis. Precision medicine aims to overcome this by identifying biomarkers and molecular drivers for targeted therapy selection. For example, the identification of breast cancer (BRCA) gene mutations in ovarian cancer has guided the use of poly (ADP‑ribose) polymerase inhibitors, leading to more effective treatments with fewer side effects. Similar targeted therapies and immunotherapies have also been developed for cervical and uterine cancer, marking progress toward personalized care. Future directions in gynecological oncology emphasize the importance of molecular profiling and development of targeted therapies. By understanding the unique molecular features of each patient, clinicians can select the most effective personalized treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
