<h4>Prognosis</h4> <p>Prognosis is the likely course of your cancer. Prognosis also provides you and your health care team with the severity and likely survival of your cancer. This information also helps you and your team determine the best course of treatment for you.</p> <h4>Testing Methods</h4> <p>Testing methodology refers to the way your blood or tissue is processed and analyzed. Your provider may order one or more types of testing methods, depending on your specific needs. The information that a provider receives from these tests can be used to guide treatment selection.</p> <h4>Treatment Selection</h4> <p>Treatment Selection refers to the plan that you and your care team make to treat your cancer. Treatment selection is unique for all patients. The information discovered is from the biomarker testing ordered by your health care provider. For example, your provider may recommend a specific targeted therapy if your cancer has a driver or actionable mutation.</p> <h4>Genetics versus Genomics</h4> <p>Genetics is the study of the genes people inherit at birth, passed on from their family through the generations.</p> <p>Genomics refers to the study of gene mutations that may drive various cancer behaviors, from how aggressive it is to whether it spreads to different locations in the body.</p> <h4>Tumor Profiling (Biomarker Testing)</h4> <p>Also called genomic profiling, molecular profiling, or biomarker testing, is laboratory testing performed on a tumor to identify any gene mutations or abnormal markers. This information identifies the tumor biology and what’s driving the cancer’s growth.</p> <p>Tumor profiling can help build a comprehensive prognosis, and identify the unique drivers of your cancer.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--columns paragraph--view-mode--default corporate-pattern-bg"> <div id="" class="col-full padding-top-100"> <div class="field field--name-field-column-content field--type-entity-reference-revisions field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--wysiwyg paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p class="large text-align-center">Treatment Options</p> <p class="disclaimer text-align-center">Not all cancer patients or types of cancer are eligible for all treatment options; talk with your medical team to determine if which is right for you.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="" class="paragraph paragraph--type--cards paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="cards-section"> <div class="cards-content"> <div class="content-wrap"> <div class="field field--name-field-cards field--type-entity-reference-revisions field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--card paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="field field--name-field-title field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Chemotherapy</div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p>Chemotherapy (Chemo) is likely the most common therapy people know about when hearing the term cancer.
