A long-held goal in oncology has been to develop therapies that target specific tumor abnormalities rather than treating cancers based solely on tissue of origin. In the past decade, advances in technology have enabled researchers to determine the genetic makeup of tumors. Although relatively few targeted cancer therapies are currently available, there is widespread optimism in the cancer community that this new ability tumors will improve treatment and patient outcomes. This 2014 workshop featured presentations and panel discussions examining recent trends in the development and implementation of molecularly targeted cancer therapies and exploring potential policies to address challenges.
