The results are processed by an one or more algorithms that compare the patient?s tumor profile to reference tumor families and classes and reports a probability score for classification. If performed, the test also evaluates methylation of the MGMT (O–6–methylguanine–DNA methyltransferase) gene promoter to help predict response to certain chemotherapies.
