Personalized Medicine: A Primer on the Role of Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacogenomics in Oncology

Download our white paper Personalized Medicine: A Primer on the Role of Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacogenomics in OncologyAdverse drug reactions (ADRs) are the fourth leading cause of death in the United States.  Following the Human Genome Project and the International HapMap Project, scientist and physicians now understand how variations in human and tumor genetics can guide the development of treatment targets and new drugs.  Pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics have evolved from these advances impacting the development of screening tools, diagnostics, and targeted therapies.

 Recent Advances in Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacogenomics:

  • Molecular targeting in drug development
  • Diagnosis and screening
  • Treatment and benefits/risk analysis

In this white paper UBC’s Don Gabriel, MD, PhD and Judy Lytle, PhD, MBEE, PMP discuss personalized medicine, applications of pharmacogenetics/pharmacogenomics in oncology and the positive impact they have on drug development.
