CancerTYPE ID is a proprietary molecular cancer classifier used to identify unknown or unclear tumor types and subtypes in patients with metastatic cancer. When ordered through NeoGenomics, classification with CancerTYPE ID is followed by tumor profiling for actionable biomarkers using the NeoTYPE^® Cancer Profile most appropriate for the tumor type identified by Cancer TYPE ID.^† Tech-only options for FISH and IHC within the NeoTYPE Cancer Profile are available.

CancerTYPE ID is performed and billed separately by NeoGenomics’ contracted reference laboratory, Biotheranostics, Inc., an independent CLIA-licensed and CAP-accredited reference laboratory. The test uses quantitative RT-PCR to measure the expression of 92 genes in the patient’s specimen and classifies the tumor by matching the gene expression profile to a database of more than 2000 known tumor types and subtypes. Using this technology, CancerTYPE ID can identify 50 different tumor types and subtypes, covering >95% of all solid tumors based on incidence.¹ The test reports a main cancer type with the highest probability, as well as a list of tumor types that may be ruled out with 95% confidence. 

^†CancerTYPE ID may be ordered as a stand-alone test directly from Biotheranostics, Inc. Please see www.cancertypeid.com.   

A wide variety of abnormalities can be identified, providing both diagnostic and prognostic information. Acute leukemias, lymphomas and chronic myeloid and lymphoid disorders are examined cytogenetically in order to establish the exact nature of the acquired genetic change. Rearrangements, also known as translocations, inversions, and deletions, can usually be detected under a light microscope. In most leukemias and lymphomas, changes in chromosome number (ploidy) or chromosome structure (rearrangements) are often observed.
 

This probe set labels all latent EBV-infected cells, including EBV-positive lymphoblastoid cell lines and EBV infected B-cell immunoblasts in infectious mononucleosis. It also reacts with EBV-associated undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinomas and with Reed-Sternberg cells in almost all EBV-associated Hodgkin lymphoma cases. Global interpretation is available on head and neck specimens only; tech-only testing is available for all samples.

Probes: EWSR1 (22q12)
Disease(s): Ewing sarcoma, primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET)

Bi-directional sequencing of exons 8 and 9 of the GNAS gene to detect mutation hot spots in codons R201 and Q227.

The Hereditary Cancer Susceptibility for Pediatrics panel is a sequencing based assay that can detect mutations in the entire coding region of the following genes listed. ALK, APC, BRCA1, BRCA2, CDH1, KRAS, MSH2, MSH6, NF1, NF2, NRAS, PALB2, PMS2, PTCH1, RB1, RET, RUNX1, SDHA, SDHB, TP53, and VHL. Note: Parent and physician or genetic counselor signatures on the NeoGenomics Consent for Hereditary Cancer Genetic Testing form are required. Testing will be put on hold until signatures are received.

Lack of nuclear expression of INI1 is characteristic of malignant rhabdoid tumors and epithelioid sarcomas.

Ki67 is a nuclear protein that is expressed in proliferating cells. Ki67 is preferentially expressed during late G1, S, M, and G2 phases of the cell cycle, while cells in the G0 (quiescent) phase are negative for this protein. Increased proliferative activity is associated with more aggressive tumor and decreased disease-free survival period.
Note: Computer-assisted image analysis for Ki-67 is only validated for breast cancer and neuroendocrine carcinoma.

Bi-directional sequencing of KIT exons 8, 9, 11, 13 and 17 for detection of activating mutations including the common mutation D816V. For solid tumors, tumor enrichment is performed before extraction. In hematological disease, testing may be performed on plasma to increase sensitivity.

Bi-directional sequencing of exon 4 of the KRAS gene corresponding to amino acids  R97 through Q150.  Codon 117 and 146 mutations are detected. For solid tumors, tumor enrichment is performed before extraction.  This test may be ordered separately or by reflex after standard KRAS Mutation Analysis. Testing is available separately or in combination with BRAF, HRAS and NRAS in the RAS/RAF Panel. Testing is approved for specimens from the state of New York.

Bi-directional sequencing of exons 2 and 3 of the KRAS gene. High-sensitivity sequencing is used for enhanced detection of mutations in codons 12, 13, 59, and 61.  For solid tumors, tumor enrichment is performed before extraction. Testing is available separately or in combination with BRAF, HRAS and NRAS in the RAS/RAF Panel. Testing is approved for specimens from the state of New York.  

The NeoARRAY SNP/Cytogenetic Profile is available for hematological, solid tumor, and pregnancy loss indications. With the best genome-wide coverage available, this test employs an enhanced SNP microarray with over 2.6 million SNP and non-polymorphic markers for detection of copy number variants (deletions, duplications, and amplifications) and loss of heterozygosity or uniparental disomy (LOH or UPD) in any chromosome. Sensitivity and specificity for detection of copy number variants >400 kb is >99%. Testing may not reliably detect abnormalities present in less than 20% of the cells tested. Balanced rearrangements, including translocations and inversions, are not detectable by this method. Clients may request NeoARRAY on POC as the sole test, or they may order POC cytogenetics with reflex to NeoARRAY if the POC culture fails or if cytogenetic results are normal. For reflex orders, if there is no cell attachment or growth after 14 days in culture, a cytogenetics failure report will be issued and NeoARRAY will be performed. If there is limited cell attachment after 14 days in culture, NeoGenomics will contact the client for instructions. When array testing is not performed, a fee will be charged for DNA extraction (which is performed upon specimen receipt).

Tumor Mutation Burden (TMB) testing at NeoGenomics measures the number of non-synonymous DNA coding sequence changes per megabase of sequenced DNA. Testing is performed routinely within the NeoTYPE™ Discovery Profile, can be added to any of the NeoTYPE Solid Tumor Profiles, and is available as a stand-alone test. Results are reported as low, high intermediate, and high upper quartile in reference to the median genomic TMB value determined across a wide variety of tumor types in an internal validation study. TMB is also called tumor mutational burden or tumor mutation load (TML).
