Abstract

Precision oncology has made progress in recent years and is currently at the heart of revolutionizing cancer research. In May 2019, two comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) tests were approved with reimbursement in Japan: FoundationOne CDx Cancer Genomic Profile and OncoGuide NCC Oncopanel System, which are fully covered by the national health insurance system. It has been reported that only 3.7% of patients received sequencing-directed therapy (Sunami et al., Int J Clin Oncol, 2021). The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare reported that in 2021, only 8.1% of patients received sequencing-directed therapy after CGP tests.
