What Are the Applications of Genomic Data in Cancer Treatment?
Genomic data has several applications in cancer treatment:
1. Targeted Therapy: Identifying mutations that can be targeted by specific drugs. 2. Personalized Medicine: Tailoring treatment plans based on the patient's genetic profile. 3. Biomarker Discovery: Identifying genetic markers that can predict treatment response or disease prognosis. 4. Drug Development: Discovering new therapeutic targets and developing novel drugs.
