Course: Genomics in the NHS: A Clinician's Guide to Genomic Testing for Cancer (Solid Tumours)

In this step, we will explore considerations around the results returned to genomics laboratories from samples sent for whole genome sequencing. Although whole genome sequencing (WGS) is not yet a …

A huge benefit of genomic testing of solid tumours is that it allows us to choose treatments that are tailored to the individual, but this adds complexity when interpreting results. …

In the previous step, we came across the terms ‘VAF’ and ‘neoplastic cell content’. In this step, we will learn what they are and what they can tell us. Introducing …

So, we have looked at how genomic testing has changed over time, but what types of tests do you need to know about? In this two-step article, we’ll consider the …

In the previous step, we identified some sequencing-based tests that are particularly important to know about. Now, let’s look at some that don’t use sequencing. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) …
