  • Cancer is a disease of the genome, according to Dr. Elli Papaemmanuil, computational oncologist at MSK. By looking at the genome
  • all the genetic material in an organism
  • researchers can gather clues about what caused certain cancers, and even how they might respond to treatment.

The article from Newsweek discusses the advancements in cancer treatment through genetic sequencing, highlighting the shift from traditional chemotherapy to more personalized medicine. It details how scientists are now using genetic information to tailor treatments to individual patients, potentially increasing effectiveness and reducing side effects. Key points include the use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) to identify specific genetic mutations in tumors, which can guide the use of targeted therapies like PARP inhibitors for BRCA-mutated cancers or immunotherapy for cancers with high microsatellite instability. The article also mentions ongoing research and clinical trials, such as those exploring the use of liquid biopsies for early detection and monitoring of cancer, and the integration of AI to analyze vast amounts of genetic data to predict treatment outcomes. Despite these advancements, challenges remain, including the high cost of sequencing, the need for more comprehensive databases, and ensuring equitable access to these cutting-edge treatments.
