Cancer genetics and genomics
Cancer genetics and genomics is the study of how our genetic profiles are linked to the onset or progression of malignancies. Mutations leading to cancer can be inherited or acquired (also called somatic). Cancer genetics and genomic studies evaluate how such mutations relate to cancer. Additionally, genetic and genomic studies can determine how an individual will respond to therapy and may help determine the best course of treatment for cancer.
