Abstract

<p>In January 2015, President Obama announced his plan to launch the Precision Medicine Initiative. While precision medicine originally refers to a medical model wherein treatments are tailored to individual patients based on their lifestyle, genetic background, and other molecular and physiological test results, genomics-based oncology is most advanced in terms of clinical implementation. Herein, I discuss the benefit of cancer genome sequencing in the field of hematology/oncology and the associated technical and sociomedical challenges.</p>
