Comprehensive NGS Solution for Therapy Selection and Treatment Monitoring Across Solid Tumors

Applicable Across Multiple Solid Tumor Types

Lung cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, gastric cancer, gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), thyroid cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, ovarian cancer, melanoma, and other solid tumors.

Enabling Precision Treatment Decisions Across the Cancer Care Continuum

• Support both adjuvant and advanced systemic therapy decision-making across major tumor types by identifying clinically actionable mutations from FFPE samples.

• Evaluate eligibility for targeted and immunotherapies through actionable genomic alterations and key biomarkers such as TMB, MSI indicators.

• Uncover resistance mechanisms by detecting secondary mutations post-treatment, enabling timely adjustment of therapy lines.

• Provide molecular eligibility for clinical trial enrollment and off-label targeted therapies based on guideline-recommended biomarkers.

Molecular Profiling Redefines Cancer Treatment

Researchers have found that the characteristics of tumors are determined by their genetic makeup. Therefore, cancer treatment can begin at the genetic level by targeting specific genes to influence tumor behavior and achieve therapeutic outcomes. Tumor driver genes are associated with cancer progression and can help assess prognosis, as well as the risks of recurrence and metastasis. Drug-related genes provide valuable guidance for therapy selection by indicating drug sensitivity or resistance. Understanding the genetic profile of a tumor forms the basis for treatment planning. By identifying the appropriate genes, more precise and effective cancer therapies can be delivered, maximizing clinical benefit.

Multiple studies have shown that NGS-based molecular profiling in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors can identify potentially actionable genetic alterations in approximately 80% of cases. Among those who received molecularly guided therapy, more than one-third experienced a clear clinical benefit, with a subset achieving durable disease control for 12 months or longer. These findings highlight the value of molecular profiling in enabling personalized treatment strategies that can significantly improve therapeutic outcomes and survival expectations.

In the past two decades, cancer has been gradually redefined.

How Does Genecast Comprehensive Support Clinical Decision-Making?

• Supports Adjuvant and Systemic Therapy Decisions

  Detects SNVs, CNVs, and InDels across 769 genes at the DNA level, and 52 clinically relevant fusions at the RNA level, enabling personalized treatment planning for both adjuvant and systemic settings.

• Guides Immunotherapy Suitability Assessment

  Reports TMB, MSI, and POLE/POLD1 mutation status to evaluate the likelihood of benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors.

• Uncovers Resistance Mechanisms to Guide Subsequent Therapy

  Identifies key resistance mutations (e.g., EGFR T790M, KRAS G12C, HER2 amplification), providing molecular insights for optimizing second- and third-line treatment strategies.

• Assesses Recurrence Risk and Potential Residual Disease

  Detects high-risk mutations such as TP53, PIK3CA, and RB1 that may be associated with minimal residual disease or postoperative recurrence, supporting long-term follow-up planning.

• Facilitates Clinical Trial Matching

  Covers multiple NCCN-endorsed biomarkers to assist in matching patients to targeted therapy or immunotherapy trials.
