It profiles the complete exome as well as transcriptome across nearly 20,000 genes. It also analyses all genes recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) for solid tumour patients and provides intuitive reports.

With the help of matched tumour-normal sequencing, the test also restricts false positives and allows physicians to make clinical decisions based on identified somatic variants.

The OncoExTra test also provides information related to targetable mutations and fusions, immuno-oncology signatures, and clinical trial options.

The selection of treatments for advanced, metastatic, refractory, relapsed or recurrent cancer patients is facilitated by the test’s comprehensive tumour profiling, which leverages whole exome and transcriptome sequencing.

It has an extensive test of around 20,000 genes and 169 introns.
