Sentences with phrase «tumor sequencing»

"Tumor sequencing" refers to the process of analyzing the genetic material of a tumor (abnormal mass of cells) to understand its unique genetic makeup. This technique helps scientists and doctors identify specific genetic alterations in the tumor's DNA and find potential personalized treatments for the patient. Full definition
