The linchpin of precision medicine is molecular genetic and genomic testing. Molecular biomarkers are important for establishing precise diagnoses and for predicting therapeutic responses that enable cancer patients to receive personalized and targeted treatment. Below are highlights of the current considerations in next generation sequencing (NGS) panel selection, and in molecular testing of solid tumors of the lung, digestive system, thyroid and soft tissue.
精准医学的关键在于分子遗传学和基因组检测。分子生物标志物对于精准诊断以及预测治疗反应至关重要,这能使癌症患者接受个性化和靶向治疗。以下是下一代测序(NGS) panel 选择以及肺、消化系统、甲状腺和软组织实体瘤分子检测当前考量因素的要点。
