Oncogenomics

Oncogenomics is the study of genes and genetic changes associated with cancer. It involves analyzing the DNA and RNA of cancerous cells to identify mutations that drive the disease. This research helps scientists understand how cancers develop and progress, as well as how they respond to treatments. By pinpointing specific genetic alterations, oncogenomics can lead to personalized medicine approaches, allowing for targeted therapies that are more effective for individual patients based on their unique genetic profiles. Ultimately, it aims to improve cancer diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies.
