Comments:
The Cancer Mutation Profiling test is a massively parallel next generation DNA sequencing-based assay that targets commonly mutated or hotspot regions of 50 cancer-related genes. Some testing requires comparison to the patient's germline sequence and a peripheral blood specimen will usually be sufficient.
