Elevating Oncology Care With Comprehensive Liquid and Tissue Testing

An expert discusses how molecular profiling has become essential for most solid tumor cancers, particularly in lung cancer, where both tissue- and plasma-based testing using next-generation sequencing helps identify actionable genomic targets and monitor resistance patterns.

An expert discusses how comprehensive genomic profiling panels that include relevant targets, resistance markers, and clonal hematopoiesis information have proven most useful, along with technologies that can detect fusion events, point mutations, and copy number variations for serial monitoring over time.

An expert discusses how education about the clinical impact of genomic testing, understanding of targeted therapies, turnaround times, and team-based approaches are essential to bridge the gap in routine comprehensive genomic profiling adoption.

An expert discusses how comprehensive genomic profiling will continue growing as an essential component of personalized cancer care, expanding into serial testing for resistance monitoring, tumor burden tracking, and potentially earlier-stage cancers as targeted therapies prove effective beyond advanced disease.
