Like every person living with cancer, every tumour is unique. Our established portfolio includes comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP)* for metastatic solid tumours and haematological malignancies to help you choose tailored treatment strategies for your patients.1
A comprehensive approach to genomic profiling
The Roche Foundation Medicine CGP approach analyses the tumour genome to identify clinically relevant alterations and potentially expand patients’ treatment options.2–7,* Clinicians then receive clear, detailed information to inform the use of immunotherapies, identify other targeted therapy options or identify trial opportunities.†8,9
FoundationOne® offers opportunities for patients where there is uncertainty about the next clinical choice, helping to identify their personalised pathway. These results are evidence-based and validated, and thus further demonstrate Roche's continued vision and committment to personalised healthcare.1,2,10–11
FoundationOne®: an established portfolio of genomic services
FoundationOne® CDx and FoundationOne® Liquid CDx are next generation sequencing-based diagnostic tests. The service provides access to the largest global molecular information currently available, analysing 324 known cancer‑relevant genes, across the four main classes of genomic alterations, in addition to tumour mutational burden and microsatellite instability, to inform treatment decision-making.8,9,17
Our established portfolio of services should be used proactively, at the first point of clinical uncertainty in any tumour to inform the use of immunotherapies, identify alternative targeted therapy options or identify trial opportunities, to help optimise and personalise treatment strategies for patients in diverse clinical situations.3,6–8

Genomics vs genetics
What's the difference?
FoundationOne® CDx informs a patient’s personalised pathway at the first point of clinical uncertainty.8,23,24
Combined commitment
The combined strengths of both pharmaceuticals and diagnostics are putting Roche at the forefront of personalised healthcare.23
Our continuously growing genomic database, and ability to analyse and extract meaningful genomic information, is central to Roche's commitment to bringing about a new era of personalised healthcare in oncology.18,23 This individualised approach enhances the services provided by healthcare professionals and thus may have a positive impact on individual patient outcomes.23
- Roche is a global pioneer in pharmaceuticals and diagnostics focused on advancing science to improve people’s lives.22-25
*CGP is a tumour testing method that utilises next-generation sequencing technology to identify all four classes of alterations (base substitutions, insertions or deletions, copy number alterations and gene rearrangements)2,8,9 across a large set of cancer-related genes known to drive cancer across tumour types.8,9 CGP is a ‘pan‑tumour’ approach, applicable for use across any type of cancer.2–7
