Drive to Large Assays
Tumor Profiling
More Genes
From single gene assays and small targeted hotspot
panels to large capture-based assays and exome
More Variant Types
From SNVs and indels to copy number
variants and gene fusions using both DNA and RNA
samples
More comprehensive detection of clinically
relevant features
■ Tumor mutation load
■ Mutational signature
■ Confirm mRNA expression of mutations found at
DNA level
■ Immunoprofiling
■ Inherited cancer risk
(identified in 20% of cases)
Mutational
Signature
(identify etiology
and predict
response to
therapy)
Mutational Load
(determine
candidacy for
immunotherapy)

trial enrollment)

Making Cancer a Chronic Disease
Hereditary cancer screening, early stage testing and serial

preventable and manageable disease.

Financial ROI
Does Insourcing Make Cents?
“It does make financial
sense to [insource]...The
goal for our lab is to
maintain the send-out
volume at less than 5%
and keep the send out
costs at about 7-8% of the
total operating costs for
the lab.”
