Understanding Your Cancer at the Genetic Level
When facing a cancer diagnosis, uncertainty can be overwhelming. The ONCOPRO Tumor Mutation Burden (TMB) Test provides clarity and direction by analysing your tumor’s unique genetic signature. This advanced testing helps your oncology team understand how your specific cancer may respond to cutting-edge immunotherapy treatments, giving you confidence in your treatment journey.
What the ONCOPRO TMB Test Reveals About Your Cancer
The Tumor Mutation Burden test measures the number of genetic mutations present in your tumor cells. Think of it as a genetic fingerprint of your cancer – the more mutations detected, the more likely your immune system can recognise and attack the cancer cells. This information is crucial because cancers with high mutation burdens often respond better to immunotherapy treatments, which work by empowering your own immune system to fight the cancer.
Using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, our laboratory analyses your tumor tissue sample with exceptional precision, providing your medical team with reliable data to guide your treatment decisions.
Who Should Consider the ONCOPRO TMB Test?
This test is particularly valuable for patients who:
- Have been diagnosed with solid tumors and are considering immunotherapy options
- Want to understand if their cancer is likely to respond to immune checkpoint inhibitors
- Are exploring personalised treatment approaches beyond traditional chemotherapy
- Have cancers that have shown resistance to conventional treatments
- Want comprehensive genetic information to guide their treatment journey
If you’re working with an oncologist to determine the most effective treatment strategy, this test provides critical information that could significantly impact your treatment outcomes.
Why TMB Testing Matters for Your Cancer Treatment
Understanding your tumor mutation burden offers several important benefits:
- Personalised Treatment Planning: Helps your oncologist determine if immunotherapy is likely to be effective for your specific cancer
- Reduced Treatment Uncertainty: Provides scientific evidence to support treatment decisions, reducing guesswork
- Potential Cost Savings: Avoids spending on treatments that may not work for your cancer type
- Improved Quality of Life: Helps identify treatments that may be more effective with fewer side effects
- Peace of Mind: Knowing you have comprehensive genetic information guiding your care
Understanding Your Test Results
Your results will categorise your tumor mutation burden as either high or low. A high TMB score suggests your cancer may respond well to immunotherapy, while a low score indicates other treatment approaches might be more appropriate. Your oncologist will explain what these results mean for your specific situation and how they can guide your treatment plan.
Remember: This test provides valuable information, but it’s one piece of your overall treatment puzzle. Your medical team will consider these results alongside other factors to create the most effective treatment strategy for you.
