How Does Genomics Data Impact Clinical Decision-Making?
In clinical settings, genomics data is used to guide precision medicine. By analyzing the genetic profile of a patient's tumor, clinicians can choose treatments that are more likely to be effective. For example, patients with specific BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations may benefit from PARP inhibitors, whereas those with HER2-positive breast cancer might respond well to HER2-targeted therapies.
