Cost effectiveness of a 92-gene assay for the diagnosis of metastatic cancer

Abstract: Use of the 92-gene assay for diagnosing metastatic tumors of uncertain origin is associated with reduced misdiagnoses, increased survival, and improved quality of life. Incorporating the assay into current practice is a cost-effective approach to standardizing diagnostic methods while improving patient care. Limitations of this analysis are the lack of data availability and resulting modeling simplifications, although sensitivity analyses showed these to not be key drivers of results.

“…CancerTYPE ID is an objective molecular test of 92 genes that is used to help identify the site of origin and the histologic subtype of tumors when it is in question. 16 Boon et al 17 reported on the use of firstline ADT in 35 patients with metastatic ARpositive salivary cancer and demonstrated that treatment with ADT showed better response, clinical benefit, and overall survival compared with patients treated with supportive care. The median progression-free survival for patients treated with ADT in their study was 4 months, with median duration of clinical benefit of 11 months.…”
