Objective:
This study aimed to identify the main directions and recent advancements in personalised approaches to cancer diagnosis and treatment, based on a comprehensive analysis of current clinical and technological practices.
Methods:
The study employed a systematic literature review of 62 peer-reviewed publications from 2019-2025 across major scientific databases, using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Results:
According to the analysis, the most promising diagnostic tools in personalised oncology are liquid biopsy, next-generation sequencing, and omics technologies like proteomics and metabolomics. These tools allow for molecular characterisation, early detection, and dynamic monitoring of tumour progression and response to treatment. Targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and genomic approaches showed the most promise for personalised cancer treatment among therapeutic approaches, especially when aided by pharmacogenomics and molecular profiling. It was discovered that combining artificial intelligence with imaging modalities improves outcome prediction, treatment planning, and diagnostic accuracy. The results highlight how crucial it is to integrate therapeutic and diagnostic advancements to enhance clinical judgement, patient outcomes, and the overall effectiveness of oncology healthcare.
Conclusion:
According to the study's findings, applying individualised therapeutic approaches in combination with genomic, proteomic, metabolomic, and imaging technologies greatly improves the accuracy, efficacy, and safety of cancer diagnosis and treatment.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
