Same Cancer, Different Treatment? Here’s Why
Many patients ask: “If two people have the same cancer, why do doctors recommend different treatments?”
In this short, Dr. Ashish Goel — Senior Surgical Oncologist at Action Cancer Hospital, Paschim Vihar & Faith Cancer Clinic, Shalimar Bagh explains why cancer treatment is individualized and personalized.
Even if two patients have the same type of cancer, their treatment may differ because of several important factors:
✔ Stage of cancer
✔ Grade and aggressiveness of tumor
✔ Biology and molecular markers
✔ Genetic testing and NGS (Next Generation Sequencing)
✔ Overall health and performance status of the patient
For example, in breast cancer, different patients may have different molecular markers and tumor biology, which significantly influence the treatment plan.
Modern oncology focuses on precision medicine, meaning treatment is tailored to each patient, not just based on a standard textbook approach.
Every cancer patient is unique — and so is their treatment plan.
