Cancer Genomics : A Path Towards Precision Medicine In Oncology

Professor Karol Sikora, former Director of WHO, will chair an informal discussion on the emerging speciality of Cancer Genomics. Gain insights into exciting new developments in genetic analysis and molecular profiling influencing new therapeutic interventions and first-line treatments for various tumours.

Cancer is a disorder of growth control caused by acquired mutations in the DNA of cells

• Such mutations can now be identified by high-throughput DNA sequencing in clinical samples

• Cancer cells grow locally and in the process of spread causing metastases through Darwinian evolution with mutation and natural selection

• We now have tools to sequence DNA rapidly either in biopsies of a cancer or from circulating tumour DNA in the blood

• Such analyses can aid in treatment decisions in individual patients in several ways.
