Cancer Genetics
Cancer genetics is the study of the genetic basis of cancer, focusing on the genes that are involved in the development, progression, and spread of the disease. By unlocking the genetic basis of the disease, scientists can better understand how a person's risk of developing cancer may be affected by genetic mutations, and also identify potential targets for new treatments. Cancer genetics is an essential component of modern cancer care, aiding in diagnosis, prognosis, and risk assessment, as well as helping to tailor treatments to a patient's specific needs.
