What the FT3 Community Made Possible in 2024

Real-world progress in personalized medicine, powered by collaboration.

Executive summary

Precision medicine holds the promise of more targeted treatments, faster diagnoses, and better outcomes, starting in oncology. But its full potential can only be realized through collective action.

In 2024, FT3 partners demonstrated that change is not only possible, it’s already happening. From integrating patient experience data into decision-making frameworks to addressing barriers in access and affordability, the work happening across the FT3 network has delivered tangible impact.

This report captures those advances: not as a list of activities, but as evidence of how shared commitment can lead to systemic transformation. It is also a call to action, to continue working together so that everyone who can benefit from personalised approaches to care, does.

The PM community has inspired FT3 to create a space where those who are passionate about bringing precision medicine to everyone who can benefit from it can make a real difference.
