New Frontiers in Cancer Genomics

Genomics is advancing cancer diagnosis, treatment, and management and allowing patients to better understand and identify remedies for their condition. Since research has shown that complex genetic variations occur throughout tumor development, the ability to conduct deep sequencing on healthy and cancerous cells at multiple stages of growth and treatment has led to invaluable findings. By looking at mutations through tumor profiling, more personalized and targeted therapies can be made available to positively impact disease outcomes. This course will show you how cancer research has advanced, and how genomics is empowering medical providers and patients to make informed decisions.

• Assess hereditary risk through multi-gene panel screens
• Classify cancers by genomic differences
• Understand the evolution of cancer cells that cause treatment resistance
• Recognize the impact of epigenetics in cancer
