Hiding donors’ genomic data from them without consultation wasn’t ethical 25 years ago, and it isn’t now.
Collaborative Genomics Projects: A Comprehensive Guide contains operational procedures, policy considerations, and the many lessons learned by The Cancer Genome Atlas Project. This book guides the reader through methods in patient sample acquisition, the establishment of data generation and analysis pipelines, data storage and dissemination, quality control, auditing, and reporting. This book is essential for those looking to set up or collaborate within a large-scale genomics research project. All authors are contributors to The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Program, a NIH- funded effort to generate a comprehensive catalog of genomic alterations in more than 35 cancer types. As the cost of genomic sequencing is decreasing, more and more researchers are leveraging genomic data to inform the biology of disease. The amount of genomic data generated is growing exponentially, and protocols need to be established for the long-term storage, dissemination, and regulation of this data for research. The book's authors create a complete handbook on the management of research projects involving genomic data as learned through the evolution of the TCGA program, a project that was primarily carried out in the US, but whose impact and lessons learned can be applied to international audiences. Establishes a framework for managing large-scale genomic research projects involving multiple collaborators Describes lessons learned through TCGA to prepare for potential roadblocks Evaluates policy considerations that are needed to avoid pitfalls Recommends strategies to make project management more efficient | Author: Margi Sheth, Julia Zhang, Jean C.

Cancer Genomics for the Clinician is a practical guide to cancer genomics and its application to cancer diagnosis and care. The book begins with a brief overview of the various types of genetic alterations that are encountered in cancer, followed by accessible and applicable information on next generation sequencing technology and bioinformatics; tumor heterogeneity; whole genome, exome, and transcriptome sequencing; epigenomics; and data analysis and interpretation. Each chapter provides essential explanations of concepts, terminology, and methods. Also included are tips for interpreting and analyzing molecular data, as well as a discussion of molecular predictors for targeted therapies covering hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. The final chapter explains the use of FDA-approved genomic-based targeted therapies for breast cancer, lung cancer, sarcomas, gastrointestinal cancers, urologic cancers, head and neck cancer, thyroid cancer, and many more.Assembled in an accessible format specifically designed for the non-expert, this book provides the clinical oncologist, early career practitioner, and trainee with an essential understanding of the molecular and genetic basis of cancer and the clinical aspects that have led to advancements in diagnosis and treatment. With this resource, physicians and trainees will increase their breadth of knowledge and be better equipped to educate patients and families who want to know more about their genetic predispositions to cancer and the targeted therapies that could be considered and prescribed.Key Features: Describes how cancer genomics and next generation sequencing informs cancer screening, risk factors, therapeutic options, and clinical management across cancer typesExplains what mutations are, what tests are needed, and how to interpret the resultsProvides information on FDA-approved targeted therapies that are being used in the clinicCovers different sequencing platforms and technologies and how they perform in research settingsIncludes access to the fully searchable eBook
The Government of Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA), and Saskatchewan Cancer Agency (SCA) are launching a genome testing program to improve the safety of Saskatchewan cancer patients receiving chemotherapy treatment.

Large-scale protein interaction maps provide a framework for interpreting cancer genomic data.
Testing your cancer's genes could help your doctor find a treatment that works against it with fewer side effects.
Routine whole genome sequencing benefits children with suspected cancer.
A decade-long study that focuses on sequencing the genome of dozens of cancers has revealed how tumors form. This could change the way that scientists study cancer in hopes of finding better and more targeted treatment. The Pan-Cancer Project brought together over 1,300 researchers to tackle this project. The study included 38 types of cancer […]

Cleveland Clinic researchers have uncovered genomic characteristics of breast cancers associated with PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS) that differentiate them from sporadic breast cancers. The findings, published in the American Journal of Human Genetics, have important implications for the personalized management of PHTS-related breast cancers.
In an Australian study published in EClinicalMedicine, researchers evaluated the impact of a combined genomic screening program for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, Lynch syndrome, and familial hypercholesterolemia in young adults. The program proved to be cost-effective, reducing healthcare costs and averting numerous health events, while emphasizing the need for further optimization and equitable access within public healthcare systems.
Thousands of breast cancer patients could now safely avoid chemotherapy thanks to a major study of women with moderate risk of recurrence.
When we consume food that isn't healthy for us for long periods of time, we create chronic health conditions that require years to heal.
Profiling multi-platform genomics of 110 cancer patients with an exceptional therapeutic response, Wheeler et al. identify putative molecular mechanisms explaining this survival phenotype in ∼23% of cases. Therapeutic success is related to rare molecular features of responding tumors, exploiting synthetic lethality and oncogene addiction.
Mapping the full genetic code of each child with cancer could dramatically improve treatment, a study has shown. The NHS has made a commitment to roll out whole genome sequencing, where all of a person’s DNA is read, for all childhood cancer patients in England. Research released today suggests that it could lead to better care for hundreds of children each year, providing better diagnoses and identifying treatments that might otherwise not be considered. The study involved 36 children treated
