Precision Oncology and Genomically Guided Radiation Therapy, A Report From the ASTRO/AAPM/NCI Precision Medicine Conference

Radiation therapy is an incredibly precise and increasingly adaptable therapeutic modality. There is a significant amount of data showing that genomic metrics can significantly influence the outcomes for numerous malignancies treated with radiation therapy. Despite this, current standards of care do little to adapt radiation therapy based on genomic or tumor specific biological factors. This manuscript summarizes the current state of integrating genomic and biologic data into management strategies with radiation therapy.
