What are Some Common Genomic Assays Used in Cancer?
Several genomic assays are widely used in clinical practice. Some of the most common include:
- Oncotype DX: Evaluates the expression of 21 genes to predict the risk of recurrence and benefit of chemotherapy in breast cancer. - MammaPrint: Analyzes the activity of 70 genes to assess the risk of breast cancer recurrence. - FoundationOne CDx: Provides comprehensive genomic profiling by identifying alterations in hundreds of cancer-related genes. - Guardant360: A liquid biopsy test that detects genetic mutations in circulating tumor DNA from a blood sample.
