Oncomine Comprehensive Panel Oncomine Tumor Mutation Burden MSI
Introduction to the Test
The Oncomine Comprehensive Panel for Tumor Mutation Burden (TMB) and Microsatellite Instability (MSI) testing is a revolutionary diagnostic tool in the field of oncology. This test plays a crucial role in identifying genetic mutations within tumors, which is essential for tailoring personalized cancer treatment plans. By understanding the genetic makeup of a tumor, healthcare providers can make informed decisions about the most effective therapies for individual patients.
What the Test Measures
This comprehensive panel measures the tumor mutation burden, which indicates the number of mutations within the tumor’s DNA. Additionally, it assesses microsatellite instability, a condition that can affect how well a tumor responds to certain treatments. The test utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) and Sanger Sequencing methods to provide accurate and reliable results.
Who Should Consider This Test
Patients diagnosed with cancer, particularly those with solid tumors or specific cancers such as colorectal cancer, should consider this test. It is particularly recommended for individuals exhibiting symptoms associated with advanced cancer or those with a family history of genetic mutations. Risk factors may include a history of cancer in the family, previous cancer diagnoses, or unexplained symptoms.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Identifies genetic mutations that may influence treatment options.
- Helps in determining eligibility for targeted therapies and immunotherapies.
- Provides valuable information for clinical decision-making.
- Aids in understanding the aggressiveness of the tumor.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the Oncomine Comprehensive Panel will provide insights into the specific mutations present in the tumor, the tumor mutation burden, and the status of microsatellite instability. This information is crucial for oncologists to create personalized treatment plans. Patients are encouraged to discuss their results with their healthcare provider to fully understand the implications and next steps.
