Cerner Name

Comprehensive Cancer Panel

Clinical Info

This test is appropriate when the patient's differential diagnosis includes various hereditary cancer syndromes.
The Comprehensive Cancer panel offers increased clinical sensitivity
compared to testing for a few genes at a time since it tests for multiple syndromes at
once across multiple cancer types. Molecular diagnosis may help in determining
treatment and management, as well as identification of at risk family members.

This test is appropriate when the patient's differential diagnosis includes various hereditary
cancer syndromes. For example, if the family history consists of multiple cases of ovarian
cancer, this may be associated with a breast/ovarian cancer syndrome such as BRCA1 or BRCA2 or Lynch syndrome
(MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, EPCAM). This test may be
appropriate when the patient family history includes a number of cancer cases, but they
are of several different types, the pattern does not seem to fit any one hereditary cancer syndrome in particular, or if some
genetic testing has already been ordered due to a
family history suggestive of a hereditary cancer predisposition but all results have
been negative. The Comprehensive Cancer panel offers increased clinical sensitivity
compared to testing for a few genes at a time since it tests for multiple syndromes at
once across multiple cancer types. Molecular diagnosis may help in determining
treatment and management, as well as identification of at risk family members.
