Clinical takeaways

 

  • Identification of actionable genetic alterations and treatment with an associated targeted therapy can achieve significant outcomes for cancer patients

  • Molecular profiling should be routine both at the point of diagnosis and at progression for cancer patients wherever possible

  • Tumour biopsy is the gold standard for genetic testing, but ctDNA can be an alternative for tumours that are difficult to biopsy and also is associated with a faster turnaround time
