Facts & figures
The three main hurdles facing the interpretation of tumour genomes and the solutions proposed in the project.
- Non-systematic interpretation
- Variants of unknown significance
- Patients unengaged
General schematics of the use of CGI in patients’ tumour interpretation within CGI-Clinics. Briefly, after the patient is diagnosed a tumour sample or liquid biopsy is taken; its DNA is sequenced providing a list of genomic alterations in tumour cells. These alterations are automatically interpreted by CGI, which generates a report for the oncologist. In cases less clear, CGI organizes Virtual Tumour Boards to get further feedback from experts. CGI also provides patient-specific information grounded on scientific evidence to the patient through eduCGI.
