Abstract

Hematology Life Sciences & Biomedicine Oncology Pediatrics Science & Technology
Precision oncology incorporates comprehensive genomic profiling into the individualized clinical care of pediatric cancer patients. In recent years, comprehensive pan-cancer analyses have led to the successful implementation of genomics-based pediatric trials and accelerated approval of novel targeted agents. In addition, disease-specific studies have resulted in molecular subclassification of myriad cancer types with subsequent tailoring of treatment intensity based on the patient's prognostic factors. This review discusses the progress of the field and highlights developments that are leading to more personalized cancer care and improved patient outcomes. Increased understanding of the evolution of precision oncology over recent decades emphasizes the tremendous impact of improved genomic applications. New technologies and improved diagnostic modalities offer further promise for future advancements within the field.
