Genomic profiling looks at genetic factors (factors that you inherit from your parents and that are present in you from birth) in patients with bowel cancer. It is part of our attempt to understand more about risk factors for the disease and to help improve treatment outcomes. Genomic profiling can be used to understand why some people get bowel cancer while others don’t. It can also tell us more about the way different people react to certain drugs. By taking part in genomic profiling, you can assist scientists to develop new ways to diagnose, treat and prevent bowel cancer.
