There are several types of molecular tests used in cancer care:
Genomic Testing: Analyzes the entire genome to identify mutations and alterations that could drive cancer growth. Gene Expression Profiling: Measures the activity of specific genes to understand the cancer's behavior and potential response to treatment. Proteomic Testing: Examines the proteins produced by genes to understand how they influence cancer development. Liquid Biopsy: A less invasive test that detects cancer cells or DNA fragments circulating in the blood.
