Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Timely treatment is crucial for cancer patients, so it's important to administer the appropriate treatment as soon as possible. Because individuals can respond differently to a given drug due to their unique genomic profiles, we aim to use their genomic information to predict how various drugs will affect them and determine the best course of treatment.
