Although more and more patients with ovarian cancer are undergoing tumor-based next-generation sequencing to identify genetic mutations in their tumors, the benefits of such testing are not well established. In a group of over 400 patients with ovarian cancer who underwent tumor-based next-generation sequencing in the course of their treatment, nearly all patients had one or more genetic alterations detected, and one out of four patients had a mutation that qualified them for a personalized treatment option.
