We have produced a series of short animations which help to explain genomic testing. There are three animations, covering:

  • Genomics in cancer care
  • Germline testing
  • Targeted treatments

You can find the animations on our YouTube channel and use the assets provided here to promote via your own social media channels.

Targeted treatments – Facebook / Instagram If you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, you might have heard about targeted treatments. Targeted cancer treatments are better at focusing on the changes in and around cancer cells, which can mean fewer, or less harsh side effects.
