- Emphasis on tried-and-tested techniques
By quickly and inexpensively sequencing an individual's entire genome, pathologists can identify mutations that cause particular types of cancer. This information helps doctors create custom treatments. This new capability is sometimes called precision medicine or personalized medicine. It has given rise to a new discipline within the medical field, genomic pathology—an area where Yale Medicine has exceptional expertise.
Clinical Trials
New treatments for many conditions are tested in clinical trials, which ultimately bring
lifesaving new drugs and devices to the patients who need them most.
By participating in a clinical trial, you may get access to the most advanced treatments
for your condition, and help determine their benefits for future patients.
