How Does Toxicogenomics Contribute to Understanding Tumors?
Toxicogenomics integrates toxicology with genomics to understand how genetic variations influence an individual's response to toxic exposures. This field helps identify genetic markers of susceptibility to tumor formation and provides insights into the molecular pathways affected by carcinogens. By doing so, toxicogenomics contributes to more accurate risk assessments and the development of personalized prevention strategies.
