As innovation in cancer treatment rapidly evolves and precision medicine becomes more mainstream, it is important for people diagnosed with cancer to discuss genomic cancer testing with their doctor. The results of a genomic cancer test can help doctors and patients better understand the diagnosis and reduce the number of treatments patients may have to try before beginning appropriate therapies.

This valuable information allows physicians to identify a unique treatment that specifically targets the genomic alteration through precision medicine. Although not a standard part of the treatment journey, genomic cancer testing is appealing to patients. If you think you may benefit from genomic cancer testing, talk to your doctor today.
