2 Key Points ➤ An increasing number of therapies are approved to treat cancers harboring specific genomic biomarkers. ➤ All cancers with regulatory-approved biomarkers that guide therapy choice should undergo genomic sequencing. ➤ Multi-gene panel testing should be conducted whenever more than one genomic biomarker is linked to a regulatory agency-approved therapy in the patient's disease. ➤ Multi-gene panel testing is also beneficial when considering immunotherapies with genomic biomarker-linked site-agnostic approvals and to identify additional targets when there are few or no genotype-based therapy approvals for the patient's disease. ➤ Clinicians should consider the functional impact of the targeted alteration and the expected efficacy of genomic biomarker-linked- options relative to other treatments during treatment planning. ➤ Clinical trials are encouraged. ➤ Genomic sequencing should be performed within a certified laboratory.
