Oncomine Comprehensive Assay
Introduction to Oncomine Comprehensive Assay
The Oncomine Comprehensive Assay is a cutting-edge genetic test designed to analyze tumor tissue for a wide range of genetic mutations associated with various cancers. This assay utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to provide comprehensive insights that are essential for personalized cancer treatment. Understanding the genetic makeup of a tumor can significantly influence treatment decisions and improve patient outcomes.
What the Test Measures
This test detects multiple genetic alterations, including single nucleotide variants, insertions, deletions, and copy number variations across numerous genes implicated in cancer. By identifying these mutations, healthcare providers can tailor specific therapies that target the unique characteristics of the tumor.
Who Should Consider This Test
The Oncomine Comprehensive Assay is recommended for patients who:
- Have been diagnosed with cancer and are seeking personalized treatment options.
- Show symptoms of advanced cancer or have a family history of hereditary cancers.
- Are considering clinical trials that require genetic profiling.
Benefits of Taking the Test
Undergoing the Oncomine Comprehensive Assay offers numerous benefits, including:
- Accurate identification of actionable mutations that can guide treatment decisions.
- Increased chances of responding to targeted therapies.
- Access to clinical trials that may be available based on genetic findings.
- Empowerment through understanding one’s genetic risks and treatment options.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the Oncomine Comprehensive Assay typically take 2-3 weeks to process. A genetic counselor or physician will discuss the findings with you, explaining what the results mean in the context of your health and treatment options. It is important to understand that not all mutations will have available treatments, but the information can still be valuable for future therapeutic strategies.
