Medicare-eligible patients with advanced cancers will have access to genomic tests under a national coverage determination CMS finalized March 16. The determination covers next-generation sequencing ...

The Urology Care Foundation and the Prostate Cancer Foundation have created a new educational guide on genetic tests to guide ...

Only 35% of advanced cancer patients received comprehensive genomic profiling testing. Tested patients were more likely to receive targeted therapies. Testing rates increased slightly over time and ...

Cancer diagnosis used to be a simple, binary call: either someone had the disease or they didn’t. And patients with the same broad class of cancer tend to receive the same class of therapy. It was a ...

—A team of researchers in Tokyo recently took on the challenge of attempting to determine whether comprehensive genomic profiling has clinical utility in a large cohort of patients with non-small cell ...

“The broad capabilities of the OncoExTra assay detected therapeutically actionable and other clinically relevant genomic events that can inform clinical decision-making for patients with advanced ...

Even though a large proportion of cancer patients carry genetic mutations that make them more susceptible to cancer, only a ...

The Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) is proud to announce the launch of an interactive website and downloadable guide, Somatic and Germline Genetic Testing for Patients with Advanced Prostate ...

Both the use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) testing for cancer and the rate of claim denials for such testing increased between 2016 and 2021, despite implementation of a recent Medicare national ...

A genomic test for successfully predicting whether cancer will resist common types of chemotherapy has been developed. Cancer Research UK (CRUK) funded scientists at the University of Cambridge (UK), ...

Across all cancer types, less than 50% of patients underwent biomarker testing before first-line treatment. Many patients with advanced cancer do not receive guideline-recommended biomarker testing ...
