Powerful insights to guide efficient, personalised treatment decisions
A comprehensive approach to genomic profiling
The Foundation Medicine comprehensive genomic profiling approach broadly analyses the tumour genome to identify clinically relevant genomic alterations and signatures, and potentially expands patients’ treatment options. 1,2,4–6,8–14 Clinicians then receive a clear, in-depth report that supports clinical decision-making by providing insights on the patient’s genomic profile, associated targeted therapies and immunotherapies† as well as relevant clinical trials.15
A high-quality portfolio of services
Our portfolio of extensively validated comprehensive genomic profiling services provides powerful insights to guide efficient, personalised treatment decisions – across the patient journey.1─9
Overview of services
Combined commitment
As part of our long-standing commitment to pioneering progress in precision medicine, molecular insights leader Foundation Medicine has become a member of the Roche Group. Together Roche and Foundation Medicine are bringing comprehensive genomic profiling to cancer patients around the world, combining Roche’s expertise and commitment in oncology and Foundation Medicine’s leading technology, validation and experience in cancer profiling.16*Comprehensive genomic profiling is a next-generation sequencing approach able to detect both novel and known variants, including all classes of genomic alterations (base substitutions, insertions and deletions, copy number alterations and rearrangements) and genomic signatures (for example Tumor Mutational Burden [TMB] and blood Tumour Mutational Burden [bTMB], Microsatellite Instability [MSI] or Loss of Heterozygosity [LoH]), to provide prognostic, diagnostic and predictive insights that inform treatment decisions for individual patients across all cancer types (CGP insights can be generated either from an end-to-end, curated reporting service or through in-house testing solutions).
†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).
