Not all cancers are alike. Just as your genetic fingerprint determines the color of your hair and eyes, a tumors genomic fingerprint defines the cancer cells.

Identifying a tumors genomic fingerprint is called gene sequencing. This science is helping many of our patients get the best cancer treatment. Find more details about how we use gene sequencing to treat cancer.

Patients with the same type of cancer usually received the same type of treatment. For example, if you had stage IV colon cancer, you probably received similar initial chemotherapy as every other patient with stage IV colon cancer.

Today, gene sequencing allows cancer specialists at the Swedish Cancer Institute to identify gene abnormalities in cancer cells and then personalize cancer treatments for those specific abnormalities independent of where the cells or tumors are located. This information allows us to create a customized treatment plan that will work best for you.Learn more about how your personal treatment plan is developed.
