Test ID MCSTP MayoComplete Solid Tumor Panel, Next-Generation Sequencing, Tumor


Ordering Guidance


Multiple oncology (cancer) gene panels are available. For more information see Hematology, Oncology, and Hereditary Test Selection Guide.



Necessary Information


Pathology report (final or preliminary) at minimum containing the following information must accompany specimen for testing to be performed:

1. Patient name

2. Block number-must be on all blocks, slides, and paperwork (can be handwritten on the paperwork)

3. Tissue collection date

4. Source of the tissue

5. Pathologic diagnosis (final or preliminary)



Specimen Required


This assay requires at least 20% tumor nuclei. However, 40% tumor is preferred.

-Preferred amount of tumor area: 720 mm(2) tissue on up to 20 unstained slides

-Minimum amount of tumor area: 192 mm(2) tissue on up to 20 unstained slides

-Tissue fixation: 10% neutral buffered formalin, not decalcified

-For this test, at least 6 mm x 6 mm areas on 20 unstained slides is preferred: this is approximately equivalent to 720 mm(2). The minimum acceptable area is 3.1 mm x 3.1 mm on 20 unstained slides: approximately equivalent to 192 mm(2).

 

Preferred:

Specimen Type: Tissue block

Collection Instructions: Submit a formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue block with an acceptable amount of tumor tissue

 

Acceptable:

Specimen Type: Tissue slide

Slides: 1 stained and 20 unstained

Collection Instructions: Submit 1 hematoxylin and eosin (H and E) stained slide and 20 unstained, nonbaked 5-micron thick sections

Note: The total amount of required tumor can be obtained by scraping up to 20 slides from the same block.

 

Specimen Type: Cytology slides (direct smears or ThinPrep)

Slides: 2 to 6 slides

Collection Instructions: Submit 2 to 6 stained and coverslipped slides with a preferred total of 10,000 nucleated cells or a minimum of at least 6000 nucleated cells

Note: Glass coverslips are preferred; plastic coverslips are acceptable but will result in longer turnaround times.

Additional Information: Cytology slides will not be returned. An image of the slides will be stored per regulatory requirements.


Useful For

Assisting in tumor profiling for diagnosis, predicting prognosis, and identifying targeted therapies for the treatment and management of patients with solid tumors

 

Identifying somatic alterations including single nucleotide variants, small deletions/insertions, gene amplifications, homozygous gene deletions, fusions, and splice variants in genes known to be associated with the tumorigenesis of solid tumors

 

Assessment of microsatellite instability and tumor mutational burden status

Genetics Test Information

This test uses targeted next-generation sequencing to estimate tumor mutational burden and detect microsatellite instability, sequence variants, gene amplifications, homozygous gene deletions, fusions, and specific transcript variants in solid tumors. This panel includes a DNA subpanel for the detection of sequence alterations in 515 genes, amplification of 96 genes, homozygous deletion of 133 genes, as well as an RNA subpanel for the detection of fusions involving 55 genes and specific splice variants involving EGFR, AR, and MET. Sequence variants and copy number changes are concomitantly interpreted to evaluate for complete inactivation of 31 tumor suppressor genes. See Genes Interrogated by MayoComplete Solid Tumor Panel for details regarding genes interrogated by this test.

 

Note: This test is performed to evaluate for somatic (ie, tumor-specific) alterations within the genes listed. Although germline (ie, inherited) alterations may be detected, this test cannot distinguish between germline and somatic alterations with absolute certainty. Follow-up germline testing using whole blood can be performed for confirmation of suspected clinically relevant germline alterations. Germline testing should be performed along with genetic counselling.
