Precision Oncology Toolkit
Precision oncology is the genomic testing or profiling of a tumour. In addition to providing an expanded array of treatment options, this targeted testing method can potentially reduce treatment toxicities, improve outcomes, and provide a better quality of life for patients.
CBCN's Precision Oncology Toolkit contains all the information you need to understand what precision oncology is, and how important it is for the future of breast cancer treatment and research. This includes differences between genetic versus genomic testing, the types of tests available to Canadians, how testing can influence treatment decisions and research, and how precision oncology can benefit the Canadian healthcare system and other patients like you.
The toolkit also contains a detailed advocacy guide, breaking down the ways that you, as a breast cancer patient, can advocate for change and awareness around precision oncology in Canada.
