Framework for Adoption of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) Globally in the Oncology Area.

ABSTRACT: Radical new possibilities of improved treatment of cancer are on offer from an advanced medical technology already demonstrating its significance: next-generation sequencing (NGS). This refined testing provides unprecedentedly precise diagnoses and permits the use of focused and highly personalized treatments.
