And it is a molecular attack, as the cancer cells arm themselves with genetic alterations that enable them to grow faster, live longer, and steal resources from normal, healthy cells that are just trying to do their jobs. Every individual’s cancer is unique, with its own set of molecular abnormalities that distinguish it from everyone else’s.

Precision treatment for cancer relies on understanding the nature of the tumor cells, including analyzing their DNA to identify alterations that help drive cancer cell growth.
