Tests performed:
- Search for EGFR gene mutations
- PIK3CA gene mutation search test and NTRK1-3, ALK, ROS1, RET, MET gene alteration test
- Comprehensive Genomic Profiling (CGP)
- Search for somatic mutations
Starting from 2018 in these laboratories, latest generation sequencing methods (NGS) have been adopted which, alongside the classical methods of molecular genetics, allow to improve the diagnostic activity and to deepen the understanding in the field of cancer genomics. The quality of the aforementioned analyzes is monitored and guaranteed through the use of internal quality controls and participation in national and international (EMQN) external quality assessment programs (VEQ).
The Unit actively participates in the regional Molecular Tumor Board and in breast, melanoma and sarcomas MDTs.
