Patient-Specific Characteristics refer to the unique set of attributes, conditions, and preferences that define an individual's health status and influence their healthcare outcomes. Understanding these characteristics is crucial for tailoring personalized treatment plans and improving patient care.

Patient-Specific Characteristics

Tumor biology is the study of the cellular and molecular mechanisms that drive the formation, growth, and spread of tumors. Understanding these processes is crucial for developing targeted cancer therapies and improving patient outcomes.

Tumor Biology

Pharmacokinetics is the study of how drugs move through the body, encompassing absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion processes. It is crucial for understanding drug action, optimizing dosing regimens, and ensuring therapeutic efficacy while minimizing toxicity.
