Patients can benefit from whole genome sequencing for immunotherapy
Immunotherapy is an effective treatment for many people with cancer. The number of abnormalities in the DNA of the tumor in many cases predicts the likelihood of success of immunotherapy. This is currently usually investigated with gene panel tests, whereby the accuracy of the results is vitally important. Joanne Mankor and her fellow researchers compared […]

SAGE: New algorithm for analysis of tumor DNA reveals mutations previously not found
At Hartwig we “analyse sequenced tumor DNA”. This is something we try to continuously improve. These analyses are shared with hospitals to help them find the best treatment for the patient. In addition, we aggregate all these analyses into our database from which we service researchers so that they can improve care for tomorrow’s patients. […]
