The Implications of Genomic Medicine for Cancer Patients - Opportunities and Challenges

Scientists, patients and doctors are working together to identify the genes involved in cancers and develop new targeted treatments based on this information. A team of sociologists have been funded by a Wellcome Trust Senior Investigator Award in Society and Ethics to investigate how these new approaches are changing research and patient care (see www.cancerandsociety.ac.uk for more information). As part of this programme of work the team have been researching the development of the Genomics Medicine Centre and the 100,000 Genomes Project in Yorkshire and the Humber. Together we have produced a short film to explore the opportunities and challenges of these initiatives with some of the key people involved in its leadership.
