Proteogenomics drives therapeutic hypothesis generation for precision oncology

  • Comment
  • Published:
British Journal of Cancer Submit manuscript

Summary

Precision oncology has largely been driven by genomic profiling, but success so far has been limited. By combining genomic and proteomic analyses of tumours, proteogenomics holds promise in providing deeper mechanistic insights and generating therapeutic hypotheses to better match patients to targeted treatments than analysing each ‘ome in isolation.
