Molecular Tumor Profiling

(Foundation One^®CDx Service, Next-Generation Sequencing)

FoundationOne®CDx provides a comprehensive molecular tumour profile for solid tumors which can support doctors in their decisions regarding the treatment of cancer patients by detecting genetic changes associated with cancer.
• Validated NGS-based analysis of the four main classes of genomic alterations.¹
• Complete Sequencing of the exons of 324  genes and additional introns from 36 selected genes.
( FoundationOne®CDx Gene Panel)
• Measurement of the Tumor Mutational Burden (TMB) und the Microsatellite Instability (MSI-Status) is included in the analysis.²

Comprehensive approach gives relieable results
• FoundationOne®CDx recognizes all genetic alterations – base substitutions, insertions/deletions, copy number variations and gene rekombinations (fusions).
• FoundationOne®CDx is a comprehensive tumor profiling, which is based on a largevalidation study. The study was published in a leading scientific journal.¹

Saves tissue and time
• FoundationOne®CDx needs only a small amount of tissue, including routine biopsies and fine needle aspirates.
• The test works optimal with a tumor content of 30%, the minimum is 20%.

Applicable results summarized in a report
• All determined clinical relevant genetic alterations will be analyzed on basis of the current scientific knowledge and clinical data with personalized therapies and clinical trial data.
• more than 20 bioinformaticians and biomedical scientists curate the FoundationOne®CDx report according to the latest available information.
