Molecular Diagnostics in Personalized Medicine for Molecular Diagnostics Market Growth in the Upcoming Years
With progress in high-throughput techniques, genome research has become more convenient and cost effective. Molecular diagnostics is becoming increasingly indispensable in clinical laboratories as these kits and tests provide rapid detection results as opposed to the conventional tests, which also involved culturing microbes in laboratory conditions in some cases. Using precision medicine, medical treatments and interventions are tailored to each patient based on their unique genetic makeup, lifestyle, and environment. Molecular diagnostics plays an important role in this approach, as it enables the identification of specific biomarkers, genetic mutations, and gene expression patterns that impact decision-making related to the treatment of patients. Drug development has become increasingly dependent on molecular diagnostics. A wide range of molecular imaging techniques are used in screening, detecting, diagnosing, treating, and assessing heterogeneity; making progression plans; examining molecular characteristics; and monitoring patient outcomes. In addition, molecular imaging can aid in the detection of tiny tumors and assessment of their activities, contributing significantly to the development and expansion of personalized medicine, research, clinical trials, and medical practice in oncology. A high-throughput genotyping platform can be used to detect genetic aberrations in clinical samples, and next-generation sequencing can be used to identify all types of cancer-causing changes. The introduction of these techniques into clinical practice would enable the identification of molecular targets in each patient, along with facilitating the tracking of the molecular progression of diseases. With these approaches, cancer patients will be able to receive personalized medicine. Thus, with technology ever evolving, the market for molecular diagnostics seems to have a bright future.Limitations Associated with Molecular Testing Hampers the Market Growth
