Precision oncology is at an inflection point worldwide as we move away from a one-size-fits-all approach towards tailored treatments for individual patients. From a scientific and technological standpoint, tremendous advances have been made, with several targeted therapies approved.¹  According to Dr. Henning Schulze-Bergkamen, Head of the Center of Tumor Diseases at St. Mary Hospital in Wesel, Germany, genomic profiling for cancer diagnosis and treatment for certain tumor types is already commonplace in many parts of the world, including Germany, however, the implementation of this practice still faces many challenges.
