CP0037-000

Precision medicine technologies, including genetic and genomic testing for biomarkers in cancer care, are rapidly emerging and being used in health care systems in Canada. However, approaches to evaluating and implementing biomarker testing are not standardized and vary between jurisdictions. This Environmental Scan will identify and summarize existing guiding principles, assessment criteria, decision-making processes, inventories, and other information relevant to the assessment and implementation of genetic and genomic biomarker testing in cancer care. A literature review and consultations will inform the scan.
