Revising Cancer Care: Stakeholders' Perspectives on Genomic Profiling's Challenges

Cancer treatment is no longer one-size-fits-all. Genomic profiling, especially comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP), can offer tailored treatments. However, this advanced approach faces several hurdles. Designing studies to test these methods is tough and time-consuming, making the benefits uncertain. The cost and clinical advantages are key factors in deciding whet...
