ForeSENTIA is an extensive portfolio of tumor profile panels that identify genetic alterations (changes) implicated in cancer. The ForeSENTIA panels test for alterations on genes that have important roles in cancer. Identifying these genetic alterations is beneficial for:
- providing an in-depth understanding of the molecular profile to the healthcare provider
- giving a better prognostic assessment
- allowing for more precise and effective medical recommendations
- improving clinical management and patient outcome
- guiding therapy options
ForeSENTIA has 2 panel categories – depending on your cancer type and its characteristics, your doctor will recommend the best panel for you.

HOW DO CANCER MUTATIONS DEVELOP?
Mutations (alterations) in our genes can happen in two ways: either we were born with them by inheriting them from our parents (hereditary), or we acquired them during our lives (somatic).
Somatic mutations can develop due to many risk factors such as smoking, high alcohol consumption, viruses such as HPV (human papillomavirus), exposure to mutagenic chemicals, and environmental pollutants. These alterations cannot be passed to our children. It could take years or decades for them to develop into cancer, depending on the mutations and the site they occur in.

FAQ
-
What is genetic testing?
Genetic testing identifies changes in the DNA. These changes might determine the health of an individual.
-
What are somatic mutations?
Somatic mutations, or alterations, are genetic changes in the DNA that happen after a person is born. These are acquired during a person’s lifetime due to risk factors like smoking, high alcohol consumption and environmental pollutants, and are not inherited. People with cancer have cancer-related somatic alterations in the tumor.
-
What is a tumor profile testing and why is it useful?
The same cancer type can be caused by different genetic alterations. These differences in the genetic profile of tumors account for the variability of symptoms, progress of disease and response to treatment. Tumor profile testing identifies the specific genetic alteration responsible for cancer development in each patient. The information gained by tumor profile testing allows for a more accurate and reliable prognosis, and helps the healthcare provider choose the most appropriate treatment for their patients depending on the tumor’s unique genetic characteristics.
-
Who should have tumor profile testing?
Any patient diagnosed with cancer can have tumor profile testing to help identify the specific genetic alterations that are associated with it. This information is critical for healthcare providers as it empowers them to provide a more precise clinical management and treatment that is tailored to the patient’s tumor profile and as such has better chances of being beneficial.
-
How can the ForeSENTIA tumor profile panels help?
The ForeSENTIA tumor profile panels give you the option to analyze a comprehensive list of genetic alterations found in tumor, allowing for the best chance to identify the genetic alterations that caused the cancer. This information will allow the healthcare provider to choose a treatment plan that is expertly fitted to the characteristics of the tumor, identify relevant clinical trials and approved therapies, thus providing the patient with improved prognostic insight and medical management.
