What role will genomics play in the future of cancer treatment?
Genomics will play a crucial role in the future of cancer treatment by providing a deeper understanding of the genetic mutations and alterations driving cancer. This knowledge will enable the development of targeted therapies aimed at specific genetic abnormalities. Genomic profiling of tumors will become routine, guiding treatment decisions and improving patient outcomes. Moreover, advancements in CRISPR technology and other gene-editing tools hold promise for correcting genetic defects and potentially curing certain cancers.
