Why Personalized Medicine with OncoPrevia is the Future of Health Care

Health is unique – just like every individual. While traditional medicine often takes a generalized approach, personalized medicine aims to tailor treatments and preventive measures to each individual patient.

This approach has already led to significant progress in cancer therapy. Thanks to genetic analyses, doctors can examine tumors at the molecular level and select targeted therapies. One example is the treatment of breast cancer with HER2-positive tumors: Patients with this genetic alteration benefit from specific antibody therapies that block the tumor's growth factors. This precision increases treatment effectiveness and reduces side effects.

OncoPrevia brings this approach to cancer screening, how we explained in our previous article Why Personalized Cancer Screening is the Future of Preventive Care. Instead of standardized screenings that often consider only age and gender, OncoPrevia analyzes a wide range of personal factors to precisely assess individual risks. In this article, you will learn how OncoPrevia works and why personalized medicine is the key to optimal prevention.


 

Did You Know That Your Height Affects Your Cancer Risk?

Studies show that with every additional centimeter of height, cancer risk increases. For women, the risk increases by about 12%, and for men, by about 9% per 10 cm of additional height. Of course, height alone is not decisive, but it plays an important role alongside other factors like lifestyle, medical history, and environmental exposures.

How Does OncoPrevia Work?

Step 1: Data Collection – Your Health, Your Profile

The journey begins with you. To create an accurate risk analysis, OncoPrevia collects a wide range of information:

  • Family Medical History: Are there any cases of cancer in your family?
  • Lifestyle: How is your diet and physical activity? What about your sexual behavior?
  • Medical History: Do you have any pre-existing conditions that might be relevant?
  • Environmental Factors: Are you exposed to particular risks such as UV radiation or pollutants?

No two people have the same health risks. While someone with a family history of skin cancer might need more frequent skin exams, another person might have a higher risk of colon cancer and require an earlier colonoscopy. The challenge lies in managing the complexity of different screening tests without losing track.

Step 2: Risk Assessment and Grouping

After entering your data, OncoPrevia uses scientifically validated algorithms to create your personal cancer risk profile. Factors such as age, genetics, and lifestyle are taken into account.

 

An Example of Personalized Recommendations:

  • A 45-year-old man with a family history of colon cancer might need a colonoscopy starting at age 45 and every five years thereafter.
  • A 38-year-old woman with an increased risk of breast cancer might be invited for mammograms earlier and require annual check-ups.

These tailored recommendations differ fundamentally from standardized recommendations, which are often based on age and gender.

Step 3: Creating Personalized Screening Plans

Based on your individual analysis, OncoPrevia creates:

  • Schedules for Examinations: With specific recommendations like “Mammogram every two years starting at 40” or “Annual skin exam starting at 30.”
  • Additional Tests: For people with special risk factors often overlooked in standard programs.
  • Regular Adjustments: Recommendations are regularly updated to reflect new scientific findings or changes in your health.
