Rethinking Cancer Drug Development through Tumor-agnostic Precision Medicine

Tumor-agnostic therapies represent a revolutionary shift from century-old anatomic classifications to molecular-driven cancer treatment, in which therapeutic decisions are based on what drives the tumor rather than where it arises. This perspective calls for a transformative acceleration of tissue-agnostic drug development from today's 10 approvals to 50 to 100 within 25 years to eliminate therapeutic inequities and ensure every patient receives the right therapy based on their tumor's molecular identity, not anatomic accident.

Abstract

Tumor-agnostic therapies represent a revolutionary shift from century-old anatomic classifications to molecular-driven cancer treatment, in which therapeutic decisions are based on what drives the tumor rather than where it arises. This perspective calls for a transformative acceleration of tissue-agnostic drug development from today's 10 approvals to 50 to 100 within 25 years to eliminate therapeutic inequities and ensure every patient receives the right therapy based on their tumor's molecular identity, not anatomic accident.
