Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer affecting women, followed by gynecologic cancers, including ovarian, endometrial/uterine, cervical, vulvar and vaginal cancer. Although surgery, radiation, endocrine treatment and chemotherapy are currently major treatment regimens for these cancers, targeted therapy (e.g. HER2 antibodies and PARP inhibitors) and immunotherapy are emerging options for subsets of eligible patients. Some women with breast cancer may also be at risk for developing other cancers, including ovarian cancer, especially when carrying a germline mutation of the BRCA gene. Therefore, comprehensive genetic testing is beneficial for breast and gynecologic cancer patients seeking precision medicine and to evaluate their genetic predisposition to other cancer types.
Targets 70 key genes in gynecologic cancers
Cancer types: ovarian, endometrial/uterine, cervical, vulvar and vaginal cancer
Assesses key genes including BRCA1/2 to predict response to PARP inhibitors
Evaluates microsatellite instabilities (MSI) and mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR) to better inform immunotherapy decisions
Predicts efficacy and toxicity of chemotherapy based on associated genetic biomarkers
Assesses genetic predisposition to cancers
Optional PD-L1 immunohistochemistry (IHC) test to better guide immunotherapy decisions for advanced cervical cancer patients
WHO IS IT FOR
