Summary
The Center for Personalized Diagnostics (CPD) has compared tumor profiling by next-generation sequencing (NGS) with single-gene tests, and found that the results agreed most of the time, suggesting that NGS is a reliable platform for routine clinical use. In total, the CPD has now sequenced over 5,500 tumor samples.
