Abstract
Provided herein, among other things, is a method of treating a cancer patient without the need for a tissue biopsy. In some embodiments, the method may comprise (a) performing or having performed a sequencing assay on cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from a sample of blood from the patient to determine if the cell-free DNA comprises actionable and/or non-actionable sequence variations in one or more target genes, and (b) treating the patient using the following method: i. administering a therapy that is targeted to an actionable sequence variation if the patient is identified as having the actionable sequence variation, and ii. administering a non-targeted therapy in the absence of any follow-up genetic testing on DNA extracted from a tissue biopsy if one or more non-actionable sequence variations and no actionable sequence variations are identified.
