About this file
This is a disease coverage status document for the NPOP Precision Oncology Program that maps current testing capabilities across all malignancy types and identifies critical gaps in laboratory services. The document assesses coverage for 27 solid tumor malignancies and 20 hematologic malignancies, categorizing each disease into three coverage levels: EXCELLENT (complete testing available), PARTIAL (some coverage with significant gaps), and MAJOR GAPS (minimal or no current coverage). For solid tumors, current coverage includes 7 EXCELLENT, 13 PARTIAL, and 7 MAJOR GAPS ratings. All hematologic malignancies are rated as MAJOR GAPS, indicating comprehensive gaps across the entire hematology portfolio. The document provides annual volume case estimates for each disease and lists specific missing test types required to achieve complete coverage.
The analysis identifies the top six testing modality gaps needed to address coverage deficiencies: IHC/Immunohistochemistry (32 gaps across 17 diseases, including MMR, PD-L1 clone 22C3, HER2, and ER/PR testing); FISH (28 gaps across 20 diseases for HER2, chromosome abnormalities, and fusion detection); NGS/Sequencing Panels (25 gaps across 19 diseases, with emphasis on myeloid panels and single gene sequencing); PCR-based Tests (15 gaps across 14 diseases including MSI testing and quantitative PCR); Karyotyping/Cytogenetics (11 gaps across 11 diseases); Flow Cytometry (7 gaps across 6 diseases for leukemia/lymphoma panels and MRD detection); and Methylation Testing (3 gaps across 3 diseases). Notably, major disease categories with substantial testing needs include esophageal cancer (1,000 annual cases), colorectal cancer (400 cases), head and neck cancer (2,700 cases), and melanoma (4,300 cases), indicating significant clinical volume requirements for vendor partnerships to close identified testing gaps.
