Expert Insights: Clinical Application of New Generation Sequencing in Solid Tumour Management

Learn when to order, what to expect, and what to look for in an NGS report in this expert panel discussion

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a DNA sequencing technology that uses parallel sequencing of multiple small DNA fragments to determine the sequence. The fundamental premise of cancer genomics is that cancer is caused by acquired mutations and consequently it is a disease of the genome. NGS may provide many benefits including a more precise diagnosis and classification of the disease, a more accurate prognosis, and potentially the identification of suitable drugs for treating cancer. Individual cancer sequencing may, therefore, provide the basis for personalized cancer management.
