2. Precision medicine in cancer - background
1. Most tumors are driven
by somatic DNA
alterations
2. Each tumor (patient)
has a unique set of
alterations
3. Drug response/
resistance are affected
by alteration profile
3. • Great improvements in
software workflows for
variant identification
• Bottleneck prior to clinical
application: interpretation
and prioritization of
clinically actionable
variants
• Knowledge management
challenge
- ongoing clinical trials
- electronic health records
- biomedical literature
- genomic variation databases
- drug-gene interaction resources
- cancer registries
