Foundation Frontiers - An Educational Webinar Series
Visit our YouTube channel for the full menu of Foundation Frontiers webinars, plus short case study videos! Webinar topics include liquid biopsy in NSCLC (non-small cell lung cancer), prostate cancer, and breast cancer.
ctDNA Tumor Fraction
ctDNA tumor fraction improves confidence in driver-negative liquid biopsy results from Foundation Medicine. Check out the resources below to learn more.
ctDNA tumor fraction case studies
Learn about ctDNA tumor fraction through two case studies.
Research summary
Read about our recent publication by Rolfo et al, which examined ctDNA tumor fraction and Foundation Medicine liquid biopsy concordance with tissue biopsy.
Fusion Detection
Fusions and rearrangements are less common than mutations, but when present, they may be highly targetable alterations. Learn about how comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) enables fusion detection in tissue and liquid biopsy samples.
Fusion Detection with DNA and RNA
Read about the complementary roles of DNA and RNA sequencing for fusion detection in solid tumor tissue samples.
Fusion Detection in Liquid Biopsies
True or False: Liquid biopsy can be used to detect targetable fusions. Get the answers here.
HRD Signature
HRD signature (HRDsig) is a scar-based, pan-solid tumor biomarker that identifies a population that may be sensitive to PARP inhibitors. Check out the resources below to learn more.
