Precision Medicine is an exciting new way to deliver cancer treatment to children. It takes into account individual variations in genes, environment and lifestyle.
Precision therapies target specific changes in individual patients’ tumour DNA, allowing for more effective treatments while reducing toxic side effects.
This work is being led by Professor Louis Chesler from the Institute of Cancer Research on behalf of a large multi-centre consortium.
Children with Cancer UK support helps fund the start of a national infrastracture for rapid sequencing of tumour DNA from young cancer patients.
