Cancer Panels use next generation sequencing (NGS) technology to target specific genes or mutations that have established relevancy to a particular cancer phenotype. NGS facilitates sequencing of large genomic regions, high numbers of genes, and/or high numbers of samples in a single, efficient and cost-effective assay.
