TARGT First is one of the most focused and affordable pan-solid Cancer Gene panels available, with 72 most commonly mutated cancer-associated genes with a high level of evidence for both targeted therapy and prognostication.
This test covers the most known genomic biomarkers for which NCCN and FDA-approved therapy options are available to treat solid cancers. It is developed to make cancer biomarker testing affordable and accessible for every cancer patient.
Tumor heterogeneity is a major problem limiting targeted therapies' efficacy and compromising treatment outcomes. An integrated approach to solid and liquid biopsy provides a better understanding of tumor biology and has advanced our knowledge of the molecular landscape of cancer to an unprecedented level.
Additionally, TARGT First can provide a combined NGS approach using solid & liquid biopsy to gain insights from both the sample sources, thereby mitigating each other’s limitations and aiding in the optimal resolution of the disease genomic landscape.

Benefits of TARGT First Gene Panel Testing
Targeted Therapy Guidance
Identifying specific genomic alterations, such as mutations, amplifications, or fusions, helps identify potential therapeutic targets that assist oncologists in selecting the most appropriate targeted therapies for individual patients, increasing the likelihood of treatment success.
Prognostic Information
Certain genetic alterations can influence the prognosis of cancer patients, such as indicating a higher likelihood of disease recurrence or metastasis. This gene panel helps oncologists better understand the patient’s disease trajectory and tailor their management strategies by identifying these prognostic biomarkers.
Cost-Effectiveness
This gene panel is designed to make cancer biomarker testing affordable and accessible for all cancer patients. The test optimizes cost without compromising the essential genes for analysis. This affordability enables a broader population of patients to benefit from genomic profiling and personalized treatment approaches, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
Combined NGS Approach
This gene panel utilizes a combined NGS approach that includes solid and liquid biopsy samples. This approach enhances the resolution of the disease genomic landscape by leveraging the strengths of each sample source.
