Advanced Cancer Genetic Testing for South African Patients
Facing a cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming, but having the right information empowers you to make confident decisions about your treatment journey. The Oncomine Comprehensive Plus Panel provides comprehensive genetic insights that help your medical team develop personalised treatment strategies specifically for your unique cancer profile.
Understanding Your Oncomine Comprehensive Plus Panel
This advanced genetic test analyses 523 cancer-related genes using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, providing the most comprehensive view of your cancer’s genetic makeup. Unlike standard tests that examine only a few genes, this panel gives your oncologist a complete picture of genetic mutations, biomarkers, and potential treatment targets.
Using your tumour tissue sample (paraffin embedded tissue blocks), our laboratory performs detailed genetic analysis that identifies specific mutations driving your cancer growth. This information is crucial for determining which targeted therapies or immunotherapies might be most effective for your particular cancer type.
Who Should Consider This Advanced Cancer Testing?
This comprehensive genetic panel is particularly valuable for:
- Patients with advanced or metastatic cancer seeking targeted treatment options
- Individuals with rare or hard-to-treat cancers where standard treatments have been ineffective
- Patients wanting to explore clinical trial eligibility based on specific genetic markers
- Those with family cancer history seeking comprehensive genetic profiling
- Patients preparing for personalised treatment decisions with their oncology team
If you’re experiencing uncertainty about your treatment path or want to explore all available options, this test provides the clarity needed for confident decision-making.
