Working Groups

CGC Working Groups create evidence-based reviews and practice considerations that positively impact the appropriate utilization and reimbursement of genomic testing in cancer. Through this work, they play a central role in advancing the Cancer Genomics Consortium’s mission to promote the highest standards in clinical genomics, support scientific innovation, and improve patient care.

In this forum, Working Groups bring together members from across our multidisciplinary community to collaborate, share expertise, and address emerging challenges in cancer genomics. By fostering teamwork, personal growth, professional development, and scientific achievement, these groups strengthen the collective knowledge base and help ensure that evolving genomic technologies are applied responsibly and effectively.

We are grateful to the Working Groups who have completed their projects, and we deeply appreciate the authors for their time, expertise, and dedication. Their contributions help drive the CGC mission forward and support the continued advancement of clinical cancer genomics.
