ForeSENTIA is a new generation test that identifies genetic alterations involved in cancer. It consists of an extensive portfolio of cancer panels, which provide accurate molecular analysis of the tumor sample taken during biopsy. There are two panel categories, both of which offer indispensable prognostic value, guidance on treatment decisions and increased chance of successful treatment through precision medicine and targeted therapies.

THERAPY-ASSOCIATED TUMOR PROFILE PANELS

for selected clinically actionable alterations that are related to targeted therapies

Therapy-associated tumor profile panels test for single nucleotide variants (SNVs), insertions and deletions on selected hotspot regions of 1 or 2 genes that are frequently involved in a variety of tumors. Testing of these genes is routinely requested by healthcare professionals due to their implication in tumors. There are several approved* targeted therapies and ongoing clinical trials focusing on these genes.

  • Clinically-actionable, therapy-related alterations
  • Shorter turn-around time

ForeSENTIA uses novel, target capture enrichement technology proven for its precision and accuracy. Analysis of selection regions is performed at an extremely high read-deapth, improving the statistical accuracy of the results. Lastly, genetic and bioinformatics approaches, and multi-engine analysis pipelines have been specifically incorporated to raise the sensitivity and specificity of ForeSENTIA.

TARGETED TECHNOLOGY

ForeSENTIA is based on a novel, target capture enrichment technology that has been validated for its accuracy and precision.

HIGH READ DEPTH

Specifically-designed analytical methods have been incorporated to ensure high read-depth, raising the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

MULTI-ENGINE ANALYSIS

WHAT IS THE POSITION OF PROFESSIONAL BODIES ON PRECISION MEDICINE?

Molecular tumor profiling has become a routine part of cancer patient care. It can help healthcare providers avoid a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach and instead choose tailored treatments that improve survival chances for cancer patients and spare them potential side effects from drugs that are unlikely to be beneficial. Such advancements in technology and genomics can help physicians in diagnosing, treating and understanding more about human disease, and in selecting treatment that is most likely to help patients.
