The Molecular Testing for Prostate 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, 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.

Simultaneous molecular testing of tissue and liquid biopsies in patients with Prostate Cancer is the optimal diagnostic approach.
Each method has a certain rate of false negatives; therefore, combining them increases diagnostic sensitivity and leads to the detection of more actionable molecular alterations.
In addition, the parallel use of the two methods can:
• Increase the possibility of identifying actionable alterations
• Allow for faster initiation of appropriate treatment

What is the sample type required for the Com.Pl.i.t DX® analysis?
For the Com.Pli.t.DX® analysis, either a formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue block or, alternatively, unstained FFPE tissue sections mounted on glass slides (air-dried, not oven-dried) is required. Specifically, 4 sections of 3 μm thickness and 6 sections of 10 μm thickness are needed.
For liquid biopsy analysis (ctDNA), the sample must consist of 10 mL of peripheral whole blood collected in a Cell-Free DNA BCT STRECK tube.
