Creating more options for your patients
Our collection of genomic tests uncover unique insights that empower you to customise treatment for individual patients, throughout their cancer journey.
A different approach to next-generation sequencing
Tumour/normal match DNA sequencing
Tumour/normal matched design provides substantial improvements in mutation identification and a 27.7% reduction in false positive rates compared to tumour-only analysis.1-3
Whole transcriptome RNA sequencing with validated fusion detection
RNA fusion analysis provides clinically-validated fusion detection, matching more patients to high level therapy options when combining RNA, immunotherapy markers and DNA sequencing compared to DNA sequencing alone.1;4
Auto-conversion option to liquid biopsy
In the event of insufficient tumour tissue, you can choose to still receive a blood-based result, through a simple automatic conversion selection, providing genomic results without a delay. In a retrospective study, at least one clinical option was reported for 96% of the cohort on the basis of Tempus NGS and matched clinical data.1
Concurrent testing improves specificity
Concurrent tissue and liquid biopsy testing matches more patients to therapies compared to solid tumour testing alone. Data suggests that just under 10% non-overlapping actionable gene alterations may be detected using concurrent testing.5;6
Longitudinal Testing for greater insight
Longitudinal testing offers insight into the evolution of cancer care throughout the course of disease. Follow-up liquid biopsy testing at disease progression can uncover the following: new gene alterations and resistance mechanisms (clonal evolution); samples tumour DNA shed from metastatic sites; and can be used to longitudinally monitor disease burden and response to treatment.7;8
