Steven Stone of Argent Global Services addresses next-generation sequencing (NGS) in precision oncology, highlighting its operational challenges and workflow efficiency. A study compared amplicon-based NGS to hybrid-capture workflows in solid tumor analysis, revealing that the Oncomine Dx Express Test significantly reduces turnaround times and labor costs. Automation simplifies processes, making it suitable for resource-limited labs. The findings stress the importance of efficient NGS workflows to meet rising oncology testing demands and enhance patient outcomes.
1. NGS is essential for precision oncology, addressing rising demand.2. The Oncomine Dx Express Test was analyzed versus hybrid-capture NGS workflows.3. It reduced turnaround time by 62 hours and hands-on time by 91%.4. Automation enhances efficiency and reduces labor needs in NGS.5. Effective genomic profiling improves patient outcomes and testing accuracy.
