The Indian Cancer Genetics and Genomics Conference-2020 The Indian Cancer Genetics and Genomics Conference-2020 (ICGGC-2020) was organized on a hybrid-virtual platform on the 24th and 25th of November 2020. This was organised by the Department of Medical Oncology, AIIMS, New Delhi in association with the Indo-UK Genetic Education Forum, under the aegis of the Research and Education Society of medical Oncology (RESMO). Genetics and genomics are playing an ever-increasing role in deciding the management of cancers, be it the diagnosis, prognosis, precision therapeutic management or precision prevention. The role of genomics and genetics in oncology is evolving at an extremely fast pace and it is prudent to keep abreast of it. Precision prevention, particularly identifying the high-risk families and unaffected relatives has a tremendous potential for preventing cancers and altering the natural history of the disease. With this intent in mind, this conference was planned to present the current state-of -the art management in Clinical Cancer Genetics.
