Oncogenomics is a study which characterises the genes which may cause cancer. Cancer is a genetic disease mainly caused by tumor formation of mutated cells. Oncogenomics uses molecular markers of gene mutations for early detection of cancer and uses gene mutations found in cancer as targets of drug therapy. The completion of the Human Genome Project has greatly simplified the field of oncogenomics and increased abilities of researchers to find cancer causing genes.
