World Cancer Day reflections: Fighting cancer together

How genomics give earlier, faster, clearer diagnoses?

Over the course of the past week, we've seen multiple posts, press releases, and incredible survivor stories to mark World Cancer Day. Some were truly inspiring. Some were truly heartbreaking.?

World Cancer Day has this effect every year, so we took a moment to reflect. At Zetta, it reminds us of people we’ve lost, as well as renewing our focus to make a difference. Because the work we do with genomics is already having an impact. Genomics has transformed our understanding of cancer, revealing how genetic mutations drive the disease. Because genomics can – and will – do so much in the global fight against cancer.?

The revolution is here?

Unraveling the secrets of our genes provides the potential for so much hope. Identifying individuals at high genetic risk means we can enable targeted early intervention.?

Historically, the sticking point has been in the complexity and vastness of data – and the ability to interpret it. This is why Zetta was founded: to facilitate the storage, analysis, and interpretation of genomic information – in a way that could transform the way clinicians can heal.?

Advanced computational tools, cloud-based platforms, artificial intelligence and machine learning are now making this possible. Identifying patterns and predicting outcomes, reducing the time required for diagnosis.?

Imagine what we could do if every patient's electronic health record was integrated with detailed genomic data and the revolution in clinician decision-making that would bring. This is where XetaBase stands out, our product makes this real.

Access. Access. Access.?

So, the technology exists, but how can we make it truly accessible? Our vision has always been to allow researchers worldwide to access and contribute to a collective pool of knowledge. And it’s why we think our Federation Knowledge model is so important. By sharing data securely, we can accelerate the discovery of new diagnostic markers and bring treatments to market faster. Making the fight against cancer one that is truly globally collaborative.??
