Just over five years ago, the FDA approved the first comprehensive NextGeneration Sequencing tests. 

This test takes a pieces of a person’s actual tumor and analyzes the genetic mutations. When we talk of personalized treatment, this is it. 

We believe all high-risk cancer patients should get NextGeneration tumor sequencing.

In this webinar, we discuss what makes a patient high-risk, what the test does for patients, and how to get it.

You may know the test by other names:

- Genetic Analysis

- Molecular Profiling

- Tumor Sequencing

- Biomarker Testing

- Genomic Testing

- Next Generation (NextGen) Sequencing

Essentially they are all the same in that they look at the DNA makeup of a patient's cancer. And for nearly every patient, this is different and can guide them to the best cancer care possible.
