Solid Tumor Genomics

Somatic molecular profiling for solid tumours.

Somatic profiling characterises alterations acquired by a tumour. Results support treatment selection and molecular classification, and are reported for the tumour sample analysed rather than for the patient’s inherited genome.

Documented capability

  • DNA-based somatic next-generation sequencing of solid tumours
  • RNA-based analysis for clinically relevant gene fusions
  • Reporting of clinically relevant somatic variants and fusions
  • Tumour BRCA1/2 analysis from tumour tissue
  • Correlation of somatic findings with the clinical and pathological context

Tumour BRCA1/2 analysis is performed on tumour tissue and reports the tumour’s somatic status. It does not replace germline BRCA1/2 testing, and a tumour finding does not by itself establish an inherited predisposition. Where an inherited cause is suspected, separate germline testing is required — see Hereditary Cancer Genomics.
