Session Abstract – PMWC 2017 Silicon Valley
Session Synopsis: Cancer genomics can improve outcomes and reduce costs. The challenge clinical laboratories face is how to choose from a complex set of unequal partial solutions for biochemistry, bioinformatics and clinical interpretation while meeting the regulatory requirements and providing cost effective services. We propose a simple end-to-end complete solution from tumor to clinical action.
