The importance of NGS panel customization for your assays: Good practices and key takeaways

As cancer remains a major global health concern, precision medicine brings hope for patients for improved treatments and outcomes. Explore the pivotal role of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) panel customization in driving advancements in oncology research. From biomarker identification to actionable mutation detection, molecular profiling forms the bedrock of precision medicine. Learn how NGS panel customization is revolutionizing this landscape, enabling simultaneous analysis of diverse genetic aberrations for a comprehensive cancer understanding.

Traditional methods like Sanger sequencing and PCR are limited to single-gene analysis, making them impractical for new target discovery. NGS’s ability to analyse millions of segments in parallel accelerates research, while customized panels provide deeper, cost-effective insights into genomic abnormalities.

Discover insights on:

  1. NGS Advantages: Delve into the superiority of NGS over traditional methods, facilitating efficient and sensitive analysis.
  2. Clinical Implementation: See how NGS is enhancing patient care through improved molecular profiling in clinical trials and practice.
  3. Personalized Therapies: Understand how tailored panels enable personalized and precise targeted therapies by identifying actionable mutations.
  4. Latest Techniques: Explore the application of NGS to formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples and the innovative use of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA).

Elevate your understanding of precision oncology’s potential. Download our white paper to harness the benefits of NGS panel customization. Empower your oncology research and clinical practice with insights that will help transform your research and advance health for patients.

Precision medicine for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) – Emerging trends in molecular analysis

Of all types of cancer, lung cancer caused more deaths worldwide than any other type of cancer. It also causes more deaths than breast and colorectal cancers combined. Patients with the most common lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), have higher survival rates than patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), but the outcomes for both remain bleak. According to the National Cancer Institute, the five-year survival rate for NSCLC between 2004 and 2010 was 20.7% compared to only 6.3% for SCLC.2

NSCLC patients also have more promising and more precise, treatment options today compared to even 10 years ago. Advances in biomarker and precision medicine have led to the development of immunotherapies and targeted novel treatments that have the potential to improve patient outcomes. In the United States, the FDA has approved dozens of biomarker-driven therapies for NSCLC, including ALK, EGFR, and ROS1 inhibitors. Meanwhile, more than 1,200 treatments are in development.

Discover the latest trends in precision medicine for NSCLC in this white paper

Challenges of Covid-19 Testing: Which Test to Use?

Are you using the right Covid-19 test? In the race to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, efficient detection of SARS-CoV-2 was and still remains the cornerstone. On January 23, the first in-house RT-PCR assay was published, quickly followed by the development of multiple commercial kits.

During the webinar, our Cerba biologists will walk participants through the overview of our available testing, discuss the reliability of tests, the current limits in Covid-19 testing, and which sample is the most efficient in each case.

Lastly, Cerba Research’s partner Fulgent will discuss NGS testing and how much we know about the analysis of the virus and its mutations.
