OncoNext


OncoNext is a new department of Genoma Group dedicated entirely to oncology. This department consists of a multidisciplinary professional team specialized in molecular biology and genetics applied to the study of solid tumors. OncoNext tests are designed to detect somatic and germinal mutations from blood or tissue biopsy samples.

The promotion of the study of germinal mutations related to hereditary solid tumors over the years has not only improved the prognosis of potential pathologies through personalized monitoring programs but has also allowed for the enhancement of patient treatment processes by managing targeted pharmacological therapies when necessary.

The solid use of molecular biology to determine the presence of somatic mutations in oncology, as well as centralizing the relationship between the patient and the healthcare provider, has made it possible to better meet individual needs and enhance personal treatment methods through the development and application of "smart drugs."

 

ONCONEXT RISK™ includes tests dedicated to examining germline mutations, which are present in all of an individual's cells and can be inherited through generations. These mutations are believed to play a role in the development of hereditary tumors.

The mutations analyzed are localized in genes that encode tumor suppressor proteins (which regulate cell proliferation, DNA repair, and apoptosis). These mutations limit the biological functions of the proteins, restricting tumor-suppressing activities.

Individuals carrying these mutations are known to have a higher susceptibility to developing tumor pathologies.

Due to mutagenic factors encountered daily, tumor-suppressing activities may be at greater risk than in the general population. Additionally, exposure to mutagenic agents may allow potential tumor-suppressing genes derived from proto-oncogenes (which function in cell cycle progression and cell proliferation) to freely activate.

ONCONEXT LIQUID™ CNV Test is a test based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) that analyzes circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in plasma samples collected from patients to detect large chromosomal gains and losses (Copy Number Variations – CNVs) in cancer cells' genomes. The identification of CNVs across the genome is a result of genomic instability (Copy Number Instability), a characteristic feature of cancer cells, and indicates the presence or progression of a tumor.

The ONCONEXT LIQUID™ CNV test is suitable for monitoring patients undergoing chemotherapy or immunotherapy, as well as for monitoring recurrence after tumor resection.

Developed by Genoma Group, the ONCONEXT LIQUID™ genetic tests are designed for the examination of somatic mutations in oncological patients or individuals at high risk by analyzing circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in peripheral blood.

ctDNA testing, also known as liquid biopsy, is one of the most innovative tools currently available for oncologists. With Onconext Liquid™, the liquid biopsy offered by Genoma Group, clinicians can accurately improve the diagnosis and prognosis of oncological patients and detect the presence of somatic mutations that could indicate tumor foci in high-risk individuals. This technology allows for very early detection.

Onconext Liquid™ does not replace the tissue biopsy, which remains the gold standard for the initial morphological/histological diagnosis and genomic profiling of pathology, but it validates and deepens the information obtained.

Onconext Liquid™ is also the best alternative test for cases where traditional biopsy is limited due to its invasive nature.

ONCONEXT Tissue™ Genetic Tests are designed for oncological use to detect somatic mutations in tissue biopsy samples related to solid tumors. These tests use innovative Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, enabling highly accurate detection of somatic mutations even from small amounts of tumor tissue.

The simultaneous detection of different mutations allows for a better understanding of the tumor's genomic profile and facilitates the application of the most appropriate treatment.

ONCONEXT Tissue™ genetic tests are intended for oncological use, providing valuable information for various clinical and diagnostic purposes in oncology patients:

  1. Tumor profiling for accurate application: OncoNext Tissue™ Monitor can provide useful information for oncologists to create personalized treatment plans.
  2. Prognostic information provision
  3. Support for clinical trial eligibility: An additional function of OncoNext Tissue™ tests is to identify specific clinical trials the patient may qualify for based on the test results.
