Product Overview

Precise™ Tumor† is a next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay with hybrid capture model consisting of DNA- and RNA-based testing which detects Single-Nucleotide Variants (SNV), Insertion-Deletion Mutations (INDELs), Copy Number Variants (CNV), and fusions in solid tumors.

Using tumor testing procedures you are familiar with in an innovative and comprehensive way, Precise Tumor testing will allow you to save time, gain confidence, and arm yourself with the information you need to help your patients. Also included in Precise Tumor testing is optional enrollment in our treatment registry.

Product Features

Actionable: 500+ solid tumor-related genes with broad coverage of key guidelines and clinical trials for multiple solid tumor types.

Key Immuno-oncology biomarkers:

  • Microsatellite Instability (MSI)
  • Tumor Mutational Burden (TMB)
  • Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1), if requested.

Clinically Validated and Comprehensive genomic coverage necessary for accurate selection of FDA-approved targeted and immunotherapy (IO), biomarkers while also evaluating, while also evaluating many genes relevant to early phase drug development efforts that may have future clinical applications in all solid tumors1.

Accurate: Sensitivity: 98.91% Specificity >99.99% using orthogonal methods, including DNA- and RNA-based next generation targeted exome sequencing with full coverage of all exons. Accurately measures TMB, microsatellite instability, SNVs, indels, copy-number/structural variation and gene fusions when compared to WGS and orthogonal technologies2.

Cutting edge technologies: Fusions and splice variants assessed via RNA analysis, which may detect more actionable fusions and splice variants, as compared to DNA tests only3-6.

Selecting optimal tissue specimen for a successful Precise Tumor test

Chemotherapy-naïve

Ideal specimen are chemotherapy-naïve tumors from primary debulking surgery or biopsy.

Chemotherapy-treated*

If patient has received neoadjuvant therapy, chemotherapy-treated tumors from primary debulking surgery may be submitted, but chemotherapy-naïve tumor from biopsy is preferred.

Biopsy

If debulking doesn’t provide sufficient tumor, pre-treatment biopsy samples should be considered.

Cytology

Cytology cell blocks (e.g., ascites fluid) are acceptable but tumor content must exceed 30%. Unfixed cytology samples are not appropriate for genomic testing.

* Pre-treatment biopsy samples should be considered in patients with complete or near-complete treatment response.

Additional considerations

  • Specimens should contain an area of tumor with at least 30% tumor cells in tissue or fluid samples by pathologic review.
  • Slides should be numbered in the order of cutting and match the pathology report. Clearly mark all slides with a minimum of 2 unique identifies (e.g., a full name and a block/pathology number).
  • Do not bake slides or use adhesives
  • If there is poor DNA quality or tumor heterogeneity, a higher tumor percentage may be required
  • If there is more than one block to choose from, the tissue from the block with the highest tumor percentage possible should be sent for testing
  • For small biopsies or tissue where area of tumor with high tumor content is very small, more than one block may be submitted simultaneously to increase the chances of extracting sufficient DNA

Tissue remaining in the block

Labs need to strike the appropriate balance between cutting enough tissue for diagnosis and preserving enough tissue for ancillary testing. Myriad will send back any remaining tissue block as soon as the test result is reported. Pre-cut unstained slides will not be returned.
