Comprehensive Cancer Testing: Your Path to Personalised Treatment
When cancer touches your life, having the right information becomes your greatest ally. Our Oncomine Comprehensive Panel provides the detailed genetic insights your medical team needs to develop a treatment plan specifically tailored to your unique cancer profile. This isn’t just another test – it’s a roadmap to more effective, targeted cancer care.
Understanding Your Comprehensive Cancer Panel
This advanced testing panel examines three critical aspects of your tumour that directly impact treatment success:
- Tumour Mutation Burden (TMB): Measures how many genetic mutations your cancer has, helping predict response to immunotherapy
- Microsatellite Instability (MSI): Identifies specific DNA repair defects that make cancers more responsive to certain treatments
- PDL1 Expression: Determines whether your cancer cells are using the “brakes” on your immune system, guiding immunotherapy decisions
Together, these markers provide a comprehensive picture of your cancer’s behaviour and vulnerabilities.
Who Should Consider This Comprehensive Cancer Testing?
This advanced testing is particularly valuable for:
- Patients with newly diagnosed solid tumours seeking personalised treatment options
- Individuals whose cancer has returned or stopped responding to standard treatments
- Patients considering immunotherapy or targeted therapy options
- Those with rare or hard-to-treat cancers where standard approaches may be limited
- Patients wanting to understand their eligibility for clinical trials
If you’re facing complex treatment decisions, this comprehensive analysis provides the clarity you need.
Why Comprehensive Cancer Testing Matters for Your Health Journey
Choosing this advanced testing panel offers significant benefits:
- Personalised Treatment Planning: Move beyond one-size-fits-all approaches to care specifically designed for your cancer
- Informed Decision Making: Understand which treatments are most likely to work and which to avoid
- Potential Cost Savings: Avoid ineffective treatments and their associated costs and side effects
- Access to Advanced Therapies: Identify eligibility for cutting-edge treatments and clinical trials
- Peace of Mind: Know you’re exploring all available options with comprehensive genetic information
Understanding Your Test Results
Your comprehensive report will provide clear, actionable information:
- TMB Results: High TMB suggests better response to immunotherapy
- MSI Status: MSI-high cancers often respond exceptionally well to immunotherapy
- PDL1 Expression: Higher expression typically indicates better immunotherapy response
Your healthcare provider will explain how these results apply to your specific situation and treatment options. Remember – these results provide valuable information, but treatment decisions are made in consultation with your full medical team.
