Unique Genes. Unique Treatment.
Precision Oncology & Targeted Therapy
Genes, our DNA building blocks unique to each of us, play an important role in how cancer may affect you — and how you respond to certain treatments. Certain genetic defects can increase the risk of developing cancer. By understanding a cancer's genetics, doctors can select the most effective treatments.
Precision health has several important functions in oncology: prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
