MEDSIR, a leading company dedicated to the strategic design of independent clinical research, participated in the Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research, a premier event that brings together scientists, clinicians, industry professionals, advocates, and other stakeholders in the field of cancer research, presenting the results of two sub-studies focused on biomarkers: transFal, focused on patients with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer and METSGain, centered on patients with early breast cancer. Both studies underscore the importance of utilizing biomarkers. Their early detection has been shown to increase patient survival rates by aiding in selecting the most appropriate treatment for patients. In the context of personalized medicine, biomarkers are also important for tailoring treatments for individual patients based on their unique biological characteristics, allowing for more precise and effective medical interventions. These findings represent significant strides in understanding and leveraging…
