We have been using the complete DNA test for the past two years in the routine care of patients with cancer. The test provides at least as much, and often more, information we can use to treat our patients than regular tests. Moreover, in patients with an unknown primary tumor, it can help us to diagnose the cancer and find a treatment. This test also makes a difference for patients with a sarcoma. Our researchers have scientifically demonstrated this in several studies.
