Understanding Your Results

Results from the Oncopro TMB test provide insights into tumor mutation burden and gene mutations, which should be interpreted by a qualified oncologist in the context of the patient's clinical history.
A high TMB score may indicate better response to immunotherapy.
Low TMB score suggests immunotherapy may be less effective.
Gene mutations identified can guide targeted therapy options.
Results are for informational purposes and must be used alongside clinical assessment.
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you have symptoms of cancer, have been diagnosed with cancer, or are considering immunotherapy, consult your oncologist to discuss the Oncopro TMB test.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all mutations due to technical limits
  • ⚠Results should be correlated with clinical data and other tests
  • ⚠Limited to analysis of 104 genes; not whole genome sequencing

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risks from biopsy procedure for sample collection
  • ●No direct risks from the test itself

Interfering Factors

  • ●Poor sample quality
  • ●Insufficient tumor tissue in FFPE block
  • ●DNA degradation or contamination

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Oncopro TMB test?
The Oncopro TMB test is a genomic test that measures tumor mutation burden using NGS to analyze 104 genes, helping predict immunotherapy response.
Why is TMB important in cancer treatment?
TMB helps predict how well a patient may respond to immunotherapy, allowing for personalized treatment plans and improved outcomes.
What sample is required for the test?
A formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue block with at least 10% tumor content, along with a histopathology report.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 15 working days after sample submission.
What is the cost of the Oncopro TMB test?
The cost is INR 70200.0, with free home sample collection available for online bookings.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, free home sample collection is offered across many cities in India for this test.
How should the sample be prepared?
The FFPE block should be prepared as per standard pathology guidelines, with at least 10% tumor tissue, and shipped at room temperature.
What does a high TMB score mean?
A high TMB score may indicate a higher likelihood of responding to immunotherapy, as it suggests more mutations for the immune system to target.
Can this test be used for all cancer types?
The test is applicable for various cancers, but its utility may vary based on cancer type and clinical context. Consult your oncologist.
Do I need a doctor's prescription for this test?
Yes, a referral from an oncologist and a completed NGS Test Requisition Form (Form 40) are mandatory.
What are the limitations of the TMB test?
Limitations include potential technical issues, the need for clinical correlation, and analysis limited to 104 genes.
How accurate is the Oncopro TMB test?
The test uses advanced NGS technology for high accuracy, but results should be interpreted alongside other diagnostic information by a healthcare professional.
