Choosing an Appropriate Treatment Plan for Patients with colorectal cancer
Com.Pl.i.t DX® multi-gene tests provide valuable information that can be used to select the optimal targeted therapy for patients. By simultaneously analyzing multiple genes, they provide a detailed fingerprint of tumor biology, enabling treating physicians to personalize the patient's treatment plan.
Com.Pl.i.t DX® tests are essential in precision oncology by:
Determining the tumor’s molecular profile, including gene alterations, rearrangements, and copy number alterations in both late-stage and early-stage tumors, providing a more comprehensive assessment.
Identifying approved targeted therapies relevant to the detected molecular alterations or dysregulated pathways.
Detecting molecular alterations associated with resistance to targeted treatments.
Supporting therapeutic decision‑making by highlighting potential off‑label treatment options and identifying relevant ongoing clinical trials.

According to the updated NCCN 2026 guidelines, molecular profiling should be performed in all stage II and III colorectal cancers.
Recommended testing includes MMR/MSI, POLE/POLD1 and PI3K pathway alterations (PIK3CA, PIK3R1, PTEN) which can inform personalized adjuvant treatment decisions.
Simultaneous molecular testing of tissue biopsy and liquid biopsy in patients with colorectal cancer represents the optimal diagnostic approach.
Each method presents a certain rate of false-negative results; therefore, their combination increases diagnostic sensitivity and leads to the detection of a greater number of clinically actionable molecular alterations.
In addition, the parallel use of both methods may:
• Increase the likelihood of identifying clinically actionable alterations
• Enable the faster initiation of the appropriate treatment

What types of cancer does it cover?
It is designed for patients with colorectal cancer.
In how many days will the results be available?
Com.Pl.i.t DX® Colon results will be available in 10 business days from the day after sample receipt.
What kind of sample is required for Com.Pl.i.t DX® Colon?
For the analysis of Com.Pl.i.t.DX® colon we need the paraffin cube from the tumor or alternatively uncolored paraffin sections coated on slides (air-dried, not oven-dried). More specifically, we need 4 sections of 3μm and 6 sections of 10μm.
Are there any special transportation conditions?
The sample should be kept at room temperature (25 °C). During the summer season we recommend having an ice pack in the kit (The ice pack should not directly touch the samples and the documents)
