Understanding Your Results

Results from the Oncomine Comprehensive Assay are interpreted by identifying genetic alterations that may respond to targeted therapies. A detailed report is provided to the referring oncologist.
📊

Presence of actionable mutations may indicate eligibility for specific drugs.

📊

Gene fusions can guide therapy selection, such as kinase inhibitors.

📊

Amplifications or deletions may influence treatment decisions.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult an oncologist if you experience cancer symptoms, have a cancer diagnosis, or need guidance on treatment options based on genetic testing results.

Limitations

  • May not detect all genetic alterations due to technical limits
  • Requires adequate tumor cellularity
  • Results may vary based on tumor type and stage

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risks from biopsy, such as infection or bleeding
  • Possible discomfort during sample collection

Interfering Factors

  • Poor sample quality
  • Insufficient tumor tissue
  • Contamination during sample processing
