Daniel S. Oh, MD, assistant professor of surgery, University of Southern California, Keck School of Medicine, discusses myPlan genetic testing in patients with lung cancer.
MyPlan is a molecular diagnostics test that uses the paraffin embedded surgical resection specimen, as well as representative slides, says Dr. Oh. A real-time PCR-based platform is then conducted, and it is run on gene-expression of some cell cycle progression genes. The scoring system is combined with the clinical stage, which produces the prognostic score, which is stratified into high-risk and low-risk.
Typically, myPlan is used on stage I and stage II patients with lung cancer, adds Oh. It is particularly useful for stage Ib because there is a lot of controversy over who to treat with chemotherapy. Oh says it is also useful for stage II patients because they have a very wide distribution of risk; some with high-risk and some with low-risk.
