The explosion of genetic information about subtypes of cancer is generating exciting possibilities for the development of personalised approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, and Garvan researchers are the leading the way.

Personalised medicine combines knowledge of the underlying biology of a cancer and the unique aspects of a patient to determine the most appropriate treatment for that person.
