1) Precision medicine uses genomic analysis of cancer tumors to match patients with targeted drug therapies. Clinical trials have shown improved progression-free and overall survival using precision oncology compared to standard chemotherapy.
2) The Oncology Precision Network connects oncologists across many hospitals to share genomic and clinical cancer data to improve treatment matching for patients.
3) Intermountain Healthcare is building one of the largest biorepositories which will allow population genomics studies on cancer types. The ultimate goal is to implement pharmacogenomic and inherited risk testing in primary care to transition from reactive to proactive precision health.
