Clinical Significance | It is a test for the treatment decision of malignant solid cancers such as gastric cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, melanoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, cerebral spinal cord malignancies, childhood neuroblastoma, and unknown primary cancer. DNA and RNA are extracted from tumor tissues and FFPE specimens, and mutation information of about 500 genes is analyzed. Also, SNV, small indel, copy number variant, and fusion are detected, and TMB score and MSI status are additionally reported. However, when reporting the results, only the mutations corresponding to tier 1 and tier 2 are reported, and tier 3 and tier 4 are not reported. |
Remark | [Specimen Handling] Unstained slide: Diameter ≥ 1.0 cm, thickness 10 μm [Precautions & Cautions] ① Mark the "lesion area" on the H&E slide ② Submission is acceptable only when tumor cellularity (number of malignant nuclei / number of all nuclei) ≥ 30% |
