These abnormalities can occur through inheritance, from environmental insults, or via random mutation. The genetic changes that allow tumors to grow and spread differ between individuals even when they have the same cancer type and stage. Therefore, two people with the same cancer type given the same therapeutic may respond differently based on their cancer’s genetics. Precision medicine allows more targeted therapies, leveraging genetic information about tumor pathogenesis. The precision medicine approach, however, is not yet part of routine care for most cancer patients. To explore where precision oncology is currently positioned in cancer therapy, and to discuss where it could be going, *The Scientist* is bringing together a panel of experts in the field for this free educational webinar. **Topics to be Covered** - How to Make Precision Oncology More Precise - Toward Precision Medicine - Building a Knowledge Network | ![](https://webinars.the-scientist.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/TS/Webinars/calendar%20icon.png?width=50&name=calendar%20icon.png) | **Wednesday, July 24, 2019** | | --- | --- |   | ![](https://webinars.the-scientist.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/TS/Webinars/clock%20icon.png?width=50&name=clock%20icon.png) | **2:30 - 4:00 PM Eastern Time** | | --- | --- | Speakers ![Merajver 100x100.png](https://webinars.the-scientist.com/hubfs/Merajver%20100x100.png "Merajver") Sofia Merajver, MD, PhD Professor, Epidemiology, and Dept. of Internal Medicine Director, Breast and Ovarian Cancer Risk and Evaluation Program University of Michigan, School of Public Health ![HookBernard 100x100.png](https://webinars.the-scientist.com/hubfs/HookBernard%20100x100.png "HookBernard") India Hook-Barnard, PhD Director of Research Strategy Associate Director, UCSF Precision Medicine University of California, San Francisco ![Biolegend Logobox.png](https://webinars.the-scientist.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/TS/Webinars/Biolegend_200x100_logobox.jpg?width=200&name=Biolegend_200x100_logobox.jpg "Biolegend LogoBox.png") ![Rockland Logobox.png](https://webinars.the-scientist.com/hs-fs/hubfs/rockland%20200x100.png?width=200&name=rockland%20200x100.png "Rockland LogoBox.png") ![10X Genomics Logobox.png](https://webinars.the-scientist.com/hs-fs/hubfs/10x%20genomics%20200x100.jpg?width=200&name=10x%20genomics%20200x100.jpg "10X Genomics LogoBox.png") ![Qiagen Logobox.png](https://webinars.the-scientist.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/TS/Webinars/qiagen150x150.jpg?width=200&name=qiagen150x150.jpg "Qiagen LogoBox.png") # Register Now ### Precision Medicine in Oncology: No Two Tumors Alike You must have Javascript and Cookies enabled to access this webcast.
