Oncomine Focus Panel: Comprehensive Cancer Genetic Testing
Understanding the Oncomine Focus Panel
The Oncomine Focus Panel represents a revolutionary advancement in cancer diagnostics, utilizing next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to provide comprehensive genetic profiling of tumor tissue. This sophisticated molecular test analyzes 52 carefully selected cancer-related genes that are clinically relevant for treatment decision-making in oncology practice.
As precision medicine continues to transform cancer care, the Oncomine Focus Panel serves as a critical tool for oncologists seeking to identify specific genetic alterations driving tumor growth. By providing detailed molecular information, this test enables healthcare providers to move beyond traditional one-size-fits-all treatment approaches and instead develop personalized therapeutic strategies based on the unique genetic profile of each patient’s cancer.
What the Oncomine Focus Panel Measures
The Oncomine Focus Panel employs advanced NGS technology to detect multiple types of genetic alterations across 52 key cancer genes:
- Single Nucleotide Variants (SNVs): Identifies point mutations that can activate oncogenes or inactivate tumor suppressor genes
- Insertions and Deletions (Indels): Detects small insertions or deletions that can disrupt gene function
- Gene Fusions: Identifies chromosomal rearrangements that create fusion genes with oncogenic potential
- Copy Number Variations (CNVs): Detects gene amplifications or deletions that can drive cancer progression
This comprehensive approach ensures that multiple potential therapeutic targets are evaluated simultaneously, providing a complete picture of the molecular landscape of the tumor.
Who Should Consider the Oncomine Focus Panel
The Oncomine Focus Panel is particularly beneficial for patients with:
- Advanced or metastatic solid tumors requiring targeted therapy options
- Cancers with limited treatment responses to conventional therapies
- Rare cancer types where standard treatment guidelines are limited
- Patients seeking clinical trial eligibility based on molecular biomarkers
- Individuals with family history of cancer seeking comprehensive tumor profiling
- Patients with recurrent or progressive disease requiring new treatment strategies
Clinical Benefits of Oncomine Focus Panel Testing
Undergoing the Oncomine Focus Panel offers numerous advantages for cancer patients and their healthcare teams:
- Personalized Treatment Selection: Identifies specific targeted therapies matched to genetic alterations
- Comprehensive Biomarker Analysis: Evaluates multiple biomarkers simultaneously from a single tissue sample
- Clinical Trial Matching: Helps identify eligibility for precision medicine clinical trials
- Treatment Resistance Insights: Provides information about potential resistance mechanisms
- Minimized Tissue Usage: Maximizes information obtained from limited tumor tissue samples
- Evidence-Based Decision Making: Supports treatment decisions with robust molecular data
Understanding Your Test Results
Your Oncomine Focus Panel results will provide detailed information about the genetic alterations detected in your tumor sample:
- Actionable Mutations: Genetic changes with approved targeted therapies available
- Investigational Targets: Alterations that may qualify you for clinical trials
- Prognostic Markers: Genetic features that provide information about disease course
- Therapeutic Recommendations: Specific drug suggestions based on detected alterations
Your oncologist will review the comprehensive report with you, explaining the clinical significance of each finding and discussing how the results may influence your treatment plan. The report typically includes information about FDA-approved therapies, clinical trial options, and relevant scientific literature supporting the findings.
