FIGURE 1. Potential Applications of Cancer Genomic Testing.

FIGURE 1

Cancer genomic sequencing assays can aid clinical decision making with potential implications for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. Several assays are available to aid in identifying tissue-of-origin in cancer of unknown primary, which may lead to identification of potential favorable subsets and their appropriate treatment options. For patients with metastatic or refractory cancer, multiple testing strategies are available to identify genomic alterations that may provide molecular eligibility for novel targeted therapies in clinical trials.
