Why Order Molecular Profiling?
Video Transcript
Every patient and every cancer is unique. To treat cancer, we must understand what drives its growth. With that knowledge, we can find where the tumor is vulnerable and recommend treatments that exploit its weaknesses. Caris performs this tumor analysis through a process called molecular profiling, or molecular testing.
WHAT CAUSES CANCER?
Cancer is caused due to changes in genetic blueprint, leading to problems in the protein making process, which causes cells to grow incorrectly. A proper understanding of the cell’s genetic error is essential to selecting a successful treatment, and not all labs test for all the necessary elements. Caris’ molecular testing can identify errors, whether they are found in your body’s DNA, RNA or proteins to help your doctor recommend the best therapy for you.
Identifying Causes of Cancer
When you or your loved one are diagnosed with cancer you deserve the very best information available. Proper identification of the cause of your cancer is critical. Caris will analyze your cancer with the most comprehensive test on the market, examining every possible gene to provide you with the most precise information.
At Caris, patients are at the center of everything we do. We are pioneering the future of cancer treatment, so that cancer patients can live longer in the present. Ask your doctor specifically about Caris molecular profiling, or to find a doctor who is familiar with Caris and our cutting-edge technologies

Germ cells, are the reproductive cells of our bodies, sperm for males and eggs for females. The genetic information within the germ cells, is transferred to the offspring with 50% of the information provided by the father, and 50% by the mother.
When a cell transcribes the DNA sequence for a gene into a single RNA molecule, this is the first step of gene expression. We’ll start with this foundation to better understand the science behind what cancer is, the forces that drive it, and how to detect new biomarkers and treat the cancers they cause.
