The ICGC has made significant strides in cancer genomics, including: 1. Comprehensive Data Collection: Collecting and analyzing genomic data from thousands of cancer patients, covering over 50 different types of cancer. 2. Identifying Key Mutations: Discovering crucial genetic mutations that drive cancer development and progression, such as mutations in the TP53 and KRAS genes. 3. Creating Databases: Establishing extensive databases like the ICGC Data Portal, which provides access to genomic data, clinical information, and analysis tools. 4. Advancing Precision Medicine: Contributing to the development of precision medicine approaches that tailor treatment plans based on an individual’s genomic profile.
