The "Cartes d'Identité des Tumeurs (CIT)" program, launched and funded by the French charity "Ligue Nationale contre le Cancer," aims to improve or develop better targeted therapeutic approaches by refining molecular knowledge of multiple types of tumors. The CIT program mainly relies on the
large-scale and systematic profiling of large cohorts of tumors at various molecular levels including at least the
genome, the
epigenome, and the
transcriptome.
