ENHANCING BREAST CANCER CARE: THE VITAL ROLE OF GENETIC PROFILING VIA NGS.

Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent fatal malignancies in females. Latest discoveries in precision medicine put the breast cancer genetic landscape at the spotlight. This review underscores the crucial importance of genetic profiling in breast cancer management, specifically through Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS). We emphasize how NGS reveals the unique genetic makeup of each patient's tumor, enabling tailored treatment approaches. This precision not only optimizes therapy but also identifies actionable mutations and informs ongoing monitoring. Beyond treatment, genetic profiling contributes to risk assessment, familial screening, and drug target discovery. Integrating NGS into routine practice is a transformative step towards more effective and patient-centered breast cancer care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
