Precision Medicine in Cancer

Precision cancer medicine is an approach that tailors treatment to the unique genetic, molecular, and clinical features of each patient and their disease, enabling more targeted and personalized therapeutic strategies aimed at maximizing efficacy and minimizing toxicity.

Why Precision Medicine in Cancer?

Cancer is highly heterogeneous, or diverse; one-size-fits-all treatments are insufficient.

  • Advances in genomics, biomarkers, AI, and data analytics enable personalized therapies.
  • Improves patient outcomes: more effective, fewer side effects.

Vision

To lead globally as an academic health system advancing precision medicine in cancer care, continuously evolving through integration of science, technology, and clinical trials; promoting collaboration, differences in populations and ethical data stewardship; delivering real-world clinical impact; and shaping a lasting impact through education.

The Precision Medicine Tumor Board (PMTB)

The board serves as a central forum for multidisciplinary dialogue, education, and the integration of molecular diagnostics into patient care at Yale Cancer Center. The tumor board meets twice monthly on alternating Fridays, from noon to 1 p.m., with each one-hour session held in a hybrid format. While virtual participation is available, in-person attendance is strongly encouraged to foster collaboration and physical interaction. Lunch is provided onsite. Check the calendar for details.
