Table 1. Characteristics of Specimens by Tumor Site.
Tumor site | Number of specimens submitted for NGS | Specimens with DNA quality or quantity inadequate for NGS analysis | Number of “shared” specimens (i.e., results are available from both NGS and targeted tests) |
---|---|---|---|
Lung | 196 | 13 (6.6%) | 101 (51.5%) |
Brain | 174 | 9 (5.2%) | 6 (3.4%) |
Bone Marrow | 161 | 0 | 95 (59.0%) |
Lymph Node | 70 | 8 (11.4%) | 32 (45.7%) |
Peripheral blood | 56 | 0 | 29 (51.8%) |
Liver | 36 | 4 (11.1%) | 5 (13.9%) |
Skin | 23 | 2 (8.7%) | 5 (21.7%) |
Other | 222 | 24 (10.8%) | 31 (14.0%) |
Tumor site is not necessarily tissue of origin. Please note that in contrast to solid tumor specimens, all liquid specimens (bone marrow and peripheral blood) were adequate for NGS processing.
