What are the Key Applications of Genetic Data Analysis in Cancer?
Genetic data analysis has several key applications in cancer research and treatment:
Biomarker Discovery: Identifying genetic markers that can be used for early detection, diagnosis, and prognosis. Targeted Therapy: Developing drugs that specifically target genetic mutations found in cancer cells. Understanding Drug Resistance: Studying genetic changes that lead to resistance to chemotherapy and other treatments. Cancer Classification: Using genetic data to classify cancers into subtypes for more accurate diagnosis and treatment.
