Combining Germline and Somatic Pharmacogenomics for Comprehensive Cancer Care

Course overview

Short description: This presentation will provide valuable insight into how pharmacogenomics is being used in the leading clinical oncology centers today. Learners will gain a deeper understanding of germline and somatic pharmacogenomics through discussions of real-world applications in clinical scenarios. Objectives: 1. Discuss somatic and germline applications of pharmacogenomics. 2. Describe clinical utilization of somatic pharmacogenomics for targeted therapies. 3. Apply clinical utilization of germline pharmacogenomics for supportive care medications, optimized chemotherapy dosing, and mitigating chemotherapeutic adverse drug events in at-risk patients with cancer. 4. Demonstrate combining germline and somatic pharmacogenomics in clinical scenarios to provide improved cancer care for your patients.
