Our comprehensive genomic profiling approach leverages next generation sequencing technology to examine regions of the tumour genome that other tests miss
The Foundation Medicine comprehensive genomic profiling approach leverages next generation sequencing (NGS) test technology to examine regions of the tumour genome that other tests miss. It detects both novel and known variants, including the four main classes of genomic alterations - base substitutions, insertions or deletions, copy number alterations and gene rearrangements - in a comprehensive set of cancer-relevant genes, and reports Tumour Mutational Burden (TMB) or blood Tumour Mutational Burden (bTMB), and Microsatellite Instability (MSl). Our clear, in-depth report supports clinical decision-making by providing insights on the patient's genomic profile as well as associated targeted therapies, immunotherapies and relevant clinical trials. When using different Foundation Medicine services across the patient journey, consistency of the reports aids comparison of the results.
