A leading comprehensive genomic profiling approach
Our services detect both novel and known variants, including all four main classes of genomic alterations, across >300 cancer-relevant genes in a single test.1–7 We leverage next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to examine regions of the tumour genome that other tests
miss.1–7,12,14–18 In the same test we also report microsatellite instability (MSI)* and tumour
mutational burden (TMB) or blood tumour mutational burden (bTMB)*
alongside a comprehensive set of genes: 1–7
Four main classes of genomic alterations

Insightful results and reporting
A clear, in-depth report supports clinical decision-making by providing insights on the patient’s genomic profile as well as associated targeted therapies, immunotherapies and relevant clinical trials.30,31 Approved therapies are ranked alphabetically within NCCN therapy categories (for additional information on the NCCN categories please refer to the NCCN Compendium® at www.nccn.org).
Extensively validated
and continuously updated
The validations of our comprehensive genomic profiling services are published in top-tier peer-reviewed journals, and the services are supported by a large and growing body of clinical evidence.1,3,5,7,32,33
Our continuously growing genomic database currently includes over 400,000 genomic profiles in over 150 common and rare tumour subtypes, helping us to ensure our reporting of clinically-relevant genomic alterations is always up-to-date.34

Results and reporting
A clear, in-depth report supports clinical decision-making by providing insights on the patient’s genomic profile as well as associated targeted therapies, immunotherapies and relevant clinical trials.30,31 Approved therapies are ranked alphabetically within NCCN therapy categories (for additional information on the NCCN categories please refer to the NCCN Compendium® at www.nccn.org). Reports vary according to regional differences, e.g. EU reports list EU-approved therapy options to support clinical
decision-making.*
The report also highlights important disease-relevant genes with no reportable alterations identified and genomic alterations associated with potential resistance to therapy to help rule out potentially ineffective treatment.30,31
When using different Foundation Medicine services across the patient journey, consistency of the reports aids comparison of the results.30,31
