TEST:

Todai OncoPanel (TOP)

Variations were observed in the nucleic acid quality across hospitals and cancer types. Further study is warranted on preanalytical factors in comprehensive cancer genomic profiling tests.

TOP2-RNA is a highly sensitive assay for detecting fusion genes, exon skipping, and aberrant gene expression. Alterations in targetable driver genes were identified in more than 50% of glioblastoma. Molecular profiling by TOP2-RNA provides ample predictive, prognostic, and diagnostic biomarkers that may not be identified by conventional assays and, therefore, is expected to increase treatment options for individual patients with glioma.

TOP RNA panel detects more fusions than DNA panel and is utilized not only for the detection of molecular targets but also for the molecular classification of glioma, providing treatments optimized for the individual patients.

TOP RNA panel is utilized not only for the detection of molecular targets but also for the molecular classification of glioma, both of which is essential for providing treatments optimized for the individual patients.

Analysis of non-small cell lung cancer using TOP led to detection of a high percentage of druggable targets. TOP RNA panel may detect MET exon 14 skipping and fusions at higher sensitivity.

Increase in targeted gene number and limiting intronic regions improved tumor mutational burden measurement by Todai OncoPanel when compared with whole exosome sequencing tumor mutational burden. Target tumor mutational burden may be the method of choice to measure tumor mutational burden.

MicroSEC removes only FFPE artifacts without eliminating true mutations found in FF samples. Our pipeline will increase the reliability of the clinical sequencing and advance cancer research using FFPE samples.

"Histologically, the tumor consisted of round cells with prominent stromal hyalinization and was immunohistochemically positive for STAT6, CD34, and cytokeratin. Finally, Todai OncoPanel, a next-generation sequencing-based molecular profiling system using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples, demonstrated fusion transcript in which NAB2 exon 6 was fused to STAT6 exon 16 supporting the diagnosis of SFT, while whole-exome sequencing analysis detected no somatic mutations which were known to be oncogenic."
