Comprehensive genomic profiling

In cancer research, investigations into the genomic profiles of tumors have enabled clinical labs to identify mutations driving cancers. As technology advances and methods improve, we can identify more and more of these driver mutations, which provides labs and clinicians with actionable insights for a better-informed course of treatment.

There are several methods available for genomic profile investigations including single-marker methods, sequencing of hot spot panels and comprehensive genomic profiling, with each method offering its own advantages.

In this In Focus, supported by Roche, we will explore the various methods available for the genomic profiling of tumors, and the impact these can have on the cancer research space.
