Solid Tumor Profile™

A Comprehensive DNA Assay for Solid Tumors

Solid Tumor Profile™ delivers broad DNA-based molecular profiling for a wide range of solid tumors, helping identify clinically actionable alterations that support diagnosis, prognosis, treatment planning, and precision oncology decision-making.

Overview

Solid Tumor Profile™

Solid Tumor Profile™ is designed to evaluate DNA abnormalities across a broad range of solid tumors, including cancers of the lung, pancreas, brain, colon, breast, ovary, endometrium, thyroid, head and neck, as well as soft tissue tumors such as sarcoma and GIST.

The assay analyzes more than 400 genes and evaluates all exons for single-nucleotide variants and indels, while also detecting important biomarkers such as microsatellite instability (MSI), tumor mutation burden (TMB), homologous recombination deficiency (HRD), and significant gene amplifications.

The results provide clinically actionable information to help guide prognosis, therapeutic strategy, and response prediction. An MGMT methylation assay is also available as an add-on for brain cancer patients.

Short Description

Solid Tumor Profile™ provides comprehensive DNA-based genomic profiling for solid tumors through analysis of more than 400 clinically relevant genes. It is designed to identify actionable molecular alterations and key biomarkers that support diagnosis, treatment selection, and prognostic assessment, with a turnaround time of 5–7 days.

Sample Requirements

FFPE: 1 H&E slide and 6-8 unstained slides, 5-7 microns of tissue fixed with 10% NBF fixative. Please circle tumor for microdissection. Alternatively, the FFPE block can be sent for tumor circling and cutting at our laboratory.
Complete requisition, making sure all sections are completed in their entirety including client information, patient Information, specimen Information and test selection. Missing information may delay reporting of test results.
A copy of a path report should be included.
Ensure the specimen is labeled with patient name and number. A minimum of two patient identifiers is required for each specimen.

Specimen Preparation and Shipping Guidelines

Use the Solid Tumor Transport Kit

Complete the requisition, making sure that all sections are completed in their entirety, including client information, patient Information, specimen information, and test selection.  Missing information may delay reporting of test results.
Diagnosis/patient history is extremely important in rendering the correct interpretation of results and should also be filled out as completely as possible. A copy of a pathology report should be included.
Ensure the specimen is labeled with patient name and number.  A minimum of two patient identifiers is required for each specimen.

For FFPE samples:

If sending FFPE blocks: Insert up to 6 blocks into the plastic block tray provided. Insert block tray into the foam insert in the transport box.
If sending slides: Insert slides into the plastic slide holders provided. Insert the slide holders into the foam insert in the transport box.  The container will hold up to 6 slide holders.
Place folded test requisition(s), and/or manifest(s) if ordered electronically, into the transport box. 
Close the box and tuck the tabs into place. No tape is necessary.
