Explore practical articles, visual explainers and clear answers from our latest published knowledge.
How the panels differ and how to read a comprehensive genomic profile
Understand HBOC, BRCA1/2 and other genes, inheritance, counselling, test choices and why a negative BRCA result may not exclude hereditary risk.
Understand MSI-high, MSI-low, MSS and dMMR, how PCR, IHC and NGS testing work, and how cancer biomarker reports are interpreted.
Variants, biomarkers, evidence tiers and the questions to take to your oncologist
No. It tests validated genes regions and alteration types. Tissue quality tumor fraction coverage and tumor heterogeneity also affect detection.
Read the full answerYes. The broader panel can answer additional questions, but the best choice depends on the tumor type clinical need previous results tissue and current guidance.
