SOPHiA - Cloud-Based Software Platform for Blood Cancers
Hematological tumors represent the fourth most frequent cancer type in the developed world. In addition to the continuously evolving clinical guidelines2, harnessing of all the available information when investigating hematological disorders into meaningful insights can be outdated, inaccurate, costly, and time-consuming. This ultimately risks limiting researchers’ productivity, thus leading to potential delayed or inaccurate diagnoses.
SOPHiA - Cloud-Based Software Platform for Hereditary Cancers
Hereditary causes account for ∼10% of cancer cases, and an estimated 20% of cancer patients have a family history of cancer. Identification of an individual with a suspected hereditable cancer can lead to additional examinations and help formulate the most appropriate prevention strategies. Evaluating the predisposition to develop inherited cancer depends on the ability to characterize genes and alterations associated with increased cancer risk accurately. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is transforming the way genomic evaluation of hereditary cancers is performed and integrated into the daily workflow of clinical laboratories.
