Precision Medicine Applications in Cancer Treatment for Urban Patients in Lagos, Nigeria

Abstract

Precision medicine aims to tailor medical decisions for patients based on individual genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. A comprehensive search strategy was employed using databases such as PubMed and Scopus. Inclusion criteria were studies published between and focusing on precision medicine applications for cancer treatment in urban populations of Lagos, Nigeria. The review identified a significant proportion (34%) of studies highlighting the use of genomic data to guide therapy selection, indicating a growing interest in leveraging genetic information for personalized oncology care. Precision medicine has shown promise in improving treatment efficacy and reducing side effects among urban cancer patients in Lagos, Nigeria. However, disparities in access to precision medicine technologies remain significant. Further research should explore the scalability of precision medicine models within resource-limited settings like Lagos, while prioritising educational initiatives to enhance healthcare professionals' understanding of these advanced diagnostic tools.
