Overview

Cancer genetics is the study of the genetic and epigenetic drivers of cancer development. It aims to identify and understand the sources of genetic variation that may lead to cancer and the molecular changes associated with cancer growth. Furthermore, cancer genetics can be used to investigate the role of genetics in the progression of a disease, help to develop more targeted treatments and provide valuable insight in clinical decision-making. This knowledge is essential for understanding the intricacies of cancer biology, and may be used to improve clinical management and patient outcomes.
