Diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive testing
Our comprehensive menu offers testing to provide diagnostic and prognostic information and helps guide treatment selection across the full spectrum of malignancies. Our tumor-specific panels only include genes that are clinically proven to impact patient outcomes. This eliminates confusing results, decreases the cost of testing, and leads to better patient care.
Integration of clinical care, pathology, genetics, and bioinformatics
We take the lead in designing and optimizing testing to guide patient care based on specific tumors. Our experience with clinical care is integrated with our expertise in pathology, genetics, and bioinformatics to direct which genes are selected for each panel and how these panels are used in a clinical setting.
Providing answers,
not just results
Genetic testing is about more than just determining whether a mutation is present or not. We take complex genetic results and turn them into clinically actionable answers. Our clinicians, laboratorians, and genetic counselors are available 24/7 to provide expertise and consultative support, eliminating the guesswork from results interpretation.
Webinar: Practical Aspects and Pitfalls of the Molecular Diagnosis of Brain Tumors
This “Specialty Testing” webinar will address practical aspects and pitfalls in the molecular diagnosis of brain tumors. All molecular testing platforms have factors that impact testing in the pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical phases. These factors will be discussed during the presentation and highlighted through clinical cases to illustrate the pitfalls in brain tumor molecular diagnosis encountered in the clinical practice at Mayo Clinic.

Over the course of two days, Mayo Clinic’s 2022 Breast Cancer Care: Innovation, Disruptive Technologies and Early Adopters educational conference will bring you up to speed on the new therapeutics, technologies and techniques that could change the way you provide breast cancer care.
As a two-time brain tumor survivor, Alex Kraatz has been through more harrowing medical experiences in his 34 years than most people face in a lifetime. But Alex’s fighting spirit, coupled with precision laboratory testing and cutting-edge treatments, have propelled him forward, keeping him hopeful despite the odds.
This unique Mayo Clinic resource offers a novel portal into the study of gene mutations before they cause breast cancer.
Wei Shen, Ph.D., explains Mayo Clinic Laboratories' new expert-backed, hereditary oncology panels, which use next-generation sequencing to identify genetic mutations linked to increased cancer risk. By only including clinically significant genes, the panels provide clarity on diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment approaches.
In this month’s “Hot Topic,” Anja Roden, M.D., discusses new entities and changes of terminology in the 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) classification of lung tumors as well as the nomenclature in small biopsies.
