Tumor Genotyping

Tumor genotyping involves analyzing the genetic makeup of cancer cells to identify specific mutations and alterations in their DNA. This information helps doctors understand the unique characteristics of a patient's tumor, which can guide personalized treatment options. By pinpointing genetic changes, genotyping can reveal whether certain therapies will be effective and can also provide insight into the tumor’s behavior and potential resistance to treatment. Overall, it’s a valuable tool in precision medicine, aiming to tailor cancer care to each individual’s genetic profile for better outcomes.
