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.

Metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) refractory to secondary hormonal treatments such as enzalutamide or abiraterone acetate are the most lethal of prostate cancers. In thi...
Tumor mutational burden (TMB) is an emerging biomarker that correlates with response to immunotherapeutic agents, such as checkpoint inhibitors. Recent studies indicate that a high mutation l...
Accumulation of structural variations (SVs) across the genome is a known trigger factor for oncogenesis. Structural mutations have been clearly implicated in a number of cancers, most notably...
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common bone tumor in pediatric and adolescent/young adult patients. Over the past three decades, significant improvements in the survival rates or therapeutic ap...
Copy-number alterations and chromosomal translocations are widespread in cancer and frequently causing oncogenic mutations that drive tumorigenesis and therapy resistance. Despite their preva...
Blockade of CTLA-4 and PD-1, members of the B7/CD28 family, have proven to be the most successful cancer immunotherapies to date. While the current therapeutic focus remains on B7/CD28 family...

A subset of women with ovarian cancer will present with an apparently isolated adnexal mass. Many of these women will have early stage ovarian cancer with a relatively good prognosis. Unfortu...
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common cancer in children and adolescents. While current treatments have resulted in 85-90% cure, the remaining 10-15% cases represent the leading cau...
