Abstract

AIMS: The rapid development of therapies linked to molecular biomarkers has increased the importance of next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based tumor profiling to guide treatment decisions. Technology has enabled more comprehensive clinical testing; however, the optimal economic approach deserves investigation. This study evaluated the impact of testing using whole-exome, whole-transcriptome sequen…
