Strata Oncology Launched 3.0 StrataNGS

Mar 19, 2019

Strata Oncology has launched version 3.0 of StrataNGS, its pan-cancer assay for solid tumors. The updated 500-gene assay sequences DNA and RNA from tumor samples to detect all clinically actionable biomarkers — including microsatellite instability, tumor mutational burden, and PD-L1 — recommended by leading guidelines, in a single test. Test results are provided in a streamlined report that facilitates interpretation and identification of potential treatment options and clinical trials, Strata said.
