The full genomic story starts with the sample
Tissue sample preservation is a key parameter to uncovering the full genomic story. OncoExTra® helps ensure tissue samples are used efficiently, providing personalized treatment paths to patients with advanced solid tumor cancers.
Raising the bar on treatment with biomarker testing
The use of biomarker testing is a growing trend,1 with multi-gene genomic sequencing preferred by major guidelines for patients with advanced solid tumors.2
Over 60%
of oncology medicines launched from 2019 to 2024 in the US require or recommend testing for pharmacogenomic biomarkers3
3 out of 4
oncologists report using next-generation sequencing to help guide treatment decisions4
Over 33%
of US patients with cancer miss out on oncology treatment because of suboptimal testing practices5
Three ways to stay ahead of any testing process barriers
Communicate early and often across your patient’s care team
A pathologist can serve as the centerpiece of communication to help ensure that personalized testing starts at the tissue.
Be part of the initial tumor sampling
Communication with the surgeon during or prior to resection can help ensure that the specimen is of sufficient quantity and quality to help increase diagnostic accuracy.6
Prioritize the most appropriate and comprehensive tests first
Consider comprehensive tests that enable simultaneous testing for multiple approved therapeutic targets or separating samples into individual blocks.2,7-8
A rigorous lab process drives our reliable reporting
