The advancement of cancer genomics research due to the development of next generation sequencing technologies is going to bring the promise of cancer precision medicine, in turn revolutionizing cancer detection and treatment. In this review, we will discuss the possible road map for implementation of cancer precision medicine into the clinical practice by mainly focusing on the role of liquid biopsy, particularly circulating tumor DNA, as a potential tool for cancer screening, selection of an appropriate drug(s), surveillance of minimal residual diseases, and early detection of recurrence. We will also review the current status of genome-driven oncology and emerging field of immunotherapies that could be provided to patients to improve their clinical outcome and quality of life. Lastly, we will discuss the usefulness of artificial intelligence that facilitate complex data integration in our health care/medical care system.
