Oncology Genomic Testing

Enhance your cancer treatment with our advanced oncology genomic tests

Oncology Genomic Testing

Oncology Genomic Testing analyzes the genetic makeup of cancer cells to provide critical insights into tumor behavior, guiding personalized treatment strategies. By understanding the specific mutations driving your cancer, this testing helps in selecting the most effective therapies and improving outcomes.

Features:

  • Comprehensive Tumor Profiling: Examines a wide range of genetic mutations and alterations in cancer cells, providing a detailed molecular profile of the tumor.
  • Targeted Therapy Guidance: Identifies specific mutations that can be targeted with personalized therapies, such as targeted drugs and immunotherapy.
  • Prognostic Insights: Offers information on how your cancer may progress and how it might respond to different treatments.
  • Broad Application: Applicable to various types of cancer, including breast, lung, colon, and rare cancers, helping to refine treatment across a wide spectrum.
Oncology Genomic Testing

How It Works:

  1. Consultation: Begin with a consultation with your oncologist to discuss the potential benefits of oncology genomic testing based on your cancer diagnosis.
  2. Sample Collection: A biopsy of your tumor tissue or a blood sample (for liquid biopsy) is collected for genomic analysis.
  3. Analysis: The sample is analyzed in a specialized laboratory, where advanced genomic techniques are used to identify genetic mutations and alterations.
  4. Results: Results are typically available within 2-3 weeks. Your oncologist will review the findings with you, discussing their implications for your treatment plan and potential targeted therapies.

Who Should Consider Oncology Genomic Testing:

  • Newly Diagnosed Cancer Patients: Individuals recently diagnosed with cancer who want to explore personalized treatment options.
  • Recurrent or Metastatic Cancer: Patients with recurrent or metastatic cancer seeking targeted therapies or clinical trial opportunities.
  • Ineffective Treatments: Those who have not responded well to standard treatments and are looking for alternative options.
