National Survey of Precision Medicine in Cancer Treatment
Note: This is a completed initiative.
The National Survey of Precision Medicine in Cancer Treatment was the first nationally representative survey of oncologists about the current practice of precision medicine in cancer treatment.
The Survey was fielded in 2017 to better understand how oncologists use genomic testing to inform treatment recommendations; their confidence in using genomic test results to guide care; as well as key barriers, drivers, and other factors that influence their use of genomic testing in clinical practice. A nationally representative sample of 1,281 medical oncologists, hematologists-oncologists, and hematologists practicing in the United States participated in the survey.
The National Survey of Precision Medicine in Cancer Treatment was sponsored by the National Cancer Institute, with support from the American Cancer Society
and National Human Genome Research Institute.
