Comprehensive Genomic Profiling
With a single test, comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) can analyze a broad panel of genes to detect the four main classes of genomic alterations known to drive cancer growth: base substitutions, insertions and deletions, copy number alterations (CNAs), and rearrangements or fusions. This type of molecular testing produces comprehensive patient reports with a broad and deep assessment of possible underlying oncogenic drivers.
This information can help your doctor plan out the best treatment strategy for you. A faster-growing cancer will need more aggressive and fast treatment, but a slow-growing cancer may not need treatment right away.
Comprehensive genomic profiling results may include microsatellite instability (MSI) and tumor mutational burden (TMB). Genomic loss of heterozygosity (gLOH) can also be determined through comprehensive genomic profiling.
