SENTIS™ Cancer+ Discovery Testing provides your labs with one of the market’s most comprehensive and accurate NGS-based testing solution for the identification of actionable somatic and germline mutations and the discovery of novel variants with important functions in cancer. The panel offers 816 cancer-related genes and interrogates the most common types of alterations, including SNVs, indels, CNVs and fusions in solid tumors, which provides comprehensive medication guidance on targeted therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy for patients with solid tumors, as well as hereditary tumor risk assessment, to comprehensively assist patients in finding treatment options that may be of benefit.
Introduction
What clinical challenges are targeted by SENTIS™ Cancer+ Discovery Testing
Traditional tumor companion diagnostic detection methods mainly include PCR, IHC, FISH. Although PCR can detect gene hotspots in a short time and has high sensitivity and specificity, its throughput are limited. It can only be used to detect common hotspot mutations related to targeted therapy, which is easy to miss some variants and cannot discover new mutations.
FISH can only detect a small number of copy number mutations and cannot discover new fusions.
IHC only detects biomaker related to protein levels, with limited evidence for drug use and relatively single targets. With the approval of more and more pan-cancer solid tumor Biomakers, there is an increasing need for comprehensive gene detection products that can cover hundreds or thousands of genes in one test.
Applicable Clinical Scenarios
- Patients with solid tumor in early and mid-stage before neoadjuvant therapy
- Patients with solid tumor in early and mid-stage before adjuvant therapy
- Patients with solid tumor in advanced stage before first-line treatment
- Patients with solid tumor in advanced who need to find the cause of drug resistance and adjust their treatment plan after drug resistance
