Abstract

Panel next generation sequencing (NGS) of tumors has been rapidly adopted in molecular pathology. NGS is capable of detecting many types of genetic alterations within cancer genomes, however, assessment and reporting varies greatly among laboratories. Tumor cellularity influences mutational analysis and copy number estimation, particularly in unpaired (tumor-only) samples. Our institution utilizes a hybrid-capture targeted NGS panel in unpaired tumor specimens, with 20-90% tumor determined by histopathologic evaluation.
