Tumor Genomics

Tumor genomics studies the DNA changes within cancer cells to understand how they grow and behave. By analyzing these genetic mutations and variations, scientists can identify specific characteristics of a tumor, which helps in diagnosing and predicting its progression. This knowledge also guides personalized treatment options, targeting the unique genetic makeup of each cancer, leading to more effective therapies with potentially fewer side effects. Overall, tumor genomics provides insights into the molecular workings of cancer, advancing precision medicine and improving patient outcomes.
