Despite its potential, molecular profiling faces several challenges:
Complexity: The sheer volume of data generated by molecular profiling techniques can be overwhelming and requires sophisticated analytical tools. Interpretation: Distinguishing between driver mutations (those that promote cancer) and passenger mutations (those that do not affect cancer progression) can be difficult. Cost: While the costs are decreasing, comprehensive molecular profiling can still be expensive and may not be widely accessible. Ethical Concerns: Genetic profiling raises ethical issues regarding privacy and the potential misuse of genetic information.
