Summary

This study aims to understand how reading the full genetic code of a person's cancer can help doctors choose better treatments. Researchers will analyze tumor samples from 5,000 adults with advanced or metastatic cancers that cannot be cured. The goal is to match each cancer's unique genetic drivers to targeted drugs and learn how often this approach changes treatment decisions.
