Is There Good Summary/List of the Genetic Tests Needed?

[PlanetaryKim]

I have seen Youtube videos with some of this information about the importance of genetic testing to determine mutational status to select the right treatment. But is there a document that summarizes the relevant tests?

Hi Planetarykim,

This is one of the best articles I have found and hopefully will cover some of your questions (although I don't think it goes into the specific treatments). A good preparation for your consult though. Best wishes,

If you are in the UK few tests are done before treatment unless you are on a trial. Well in my area that is so.

This is a superb overview from the American Cancer Society and covers all areas including diagnostic methods, tests and treatment options.

I've narrowed it down to the two links you are looking for to save wading through;

cancer.org/content/dam/CRC/...
