Contextual Genomics FIND IT cancer hotspot panel

Personalised cancer care

The Contextual Genomics FIND IT® cancer hotspot panel is a multiplex next generation sequencing assay, designed to identify common, clinically actionable genomic alterations in most solid tumour samples. The FIND IT panel provides a personalised understanding of a patient’s tumour.

Why choose the FIND IT cancer hotspot panel?

  • Detects mutations that have prognostic and diagnostic value.

  • Identifies potential therapeutics or potential clinical trials.
  • Finds acquired resistance mutations to drugs and assists in the selection of medicines.
  • Available exclusively through Sonic Genetics.

Optimised for clinical benefit

  • Detects single base substitutions (SNVs), small deletions and insertions up to 24 nucleotides.
  • Simultaneously evaluates the mutation status of tumour DNA at more than 120 well-characterised positions (hotspots) and 17 exons in 33 cancer-associated genes.
  • Catalogues genomic alterations, linking them to details on treatment sensitivity and resistance, as well as clinical trial information.

Comprehensive reporting

  • Reports feature a detailed clinical interpretation, with information based on the mutation profile of the tumour.
  • A seamless full service approach enables physicians to make more informed patient decisions.

Is the FIND IT test reimbursed by Medicare?

Currently the full FIND IT panel is not covered by a Medicare rebate and will be privately billed to the patient. Focused panels are available for the relevant Medicare rebate fee for eligible patients, avoiding any out-of-pocket charges. An add-on panel can be requested to extend a focused panel to a full panel. For current pricing, please see the ‘FIND IT information for medical specialists’ and ‘FIND IT doctor brief’ publications available for download below.
