Cancer Genomics is a relatively new research area that takes advantage of recent technological advances to study the human genome, meaning our full set of DNA. Genomics is transforming how we study, diagnose and treat cancer.
Although there have been enormous advances in gene sequencing, the results give massive amounts of data that only point to disease risk. Major health factors, including diet, lifestyle, envir...
