What Are the Challenges of Genome Sequencing in Cancer?
Despite its potential, genome sequencing faces several challenges:
Complexity of data analysis: Interpreting vast amounts of genomic data requires sophisticated bioinformatics tools. Cost: While sequencing costs have decreased, comprehensive sequencing can still be expensive. Ethical and privacy concerns: Protecting patient genetic data from misuse and ensuring informed consent. Tumor heterogeneity: Genetic variation within and between tumors can complicate analysis.
