Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) is becoming standard of care for cancer and allows pathology labs to consolidate individual biomarkers into a single NGS assay. It enables the assessment of all key biomarkers cited in guidelines and clinical trials using a minimal amount of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue while increasing the chance of finding a positive biomarker for every sample. 

Illumina’s TruSight Oncology 500 High-Throughput (TSO500 HT)assay enables labs to perform in-house CGP with scalability on a NovaSeq 6000 platform. 

In this CellPress webinar, Brian Piening of Providence Cancer Center will discuss why his team decided to implement in-house CGP and will share analytical performance data from their TSO500_HT runs. He will also provide details of the center’s end-to-end workflow, including the data analysis flow and how they build their final reports.

Attendees of this webinar will learn about: 

  • Providence Cancer Center’s implementation of in-house CGP
  • Illumina’s solution enabling in-house CGP
