Data for the adult Personalized OncoGenomics (POG) population describing how often the data was felt to be informative or actionable by the treating medical oncologist and the clinician-assessed response to any POG-informed treatment that was delivered

N = 100 adults Percentage
Sufficient tissue for POG analysis 78 78%
Insufficient tissue for POG analysis

83% when sequencing was possible
Actionable 55 55% total;
71% when sequencing was possible
Patients received POG-informed treatment 34 34% total;
44% when sequencing was possible;
62% when there was something actionable identified
