Signatera™ for Colorectal Cancer
Knowing Earlier Can Make A Difference
Signatera™ is custom-built to your unique set of tumor mutations to predict colorectal cancer recurrence. Because it is highly sensitive it can detect very small traces of tumor in your body so you can know earlier if cancer is present and make more informed decisions regarding your treatment.

How is the Signatera™ test performed?
Personalized, tumor-informed assay
One-time, primary tissue sample and matched normal tissue is required for whole exome sequencing and personalized test design.
Ultrasensitive ctDNA detection
Signatera™ is designed to detect ctDNA of somatic and truncal variants to optimize sensitivity. Tumor-informed method enables filtering of CHIP mutations to decrease false positive rates.
Optimized for longitudinal monitoring
Once the patient’s personalized test has been designed, only a blood sample is needed each subsequent time Signatera™ is ordered for the program or Surveillance program.

Helping Patients Make Informed Decisions
For patients undergoing treatment for colon cancer, each scan can be a scary experience. Wondering if the treatments are working and the nagging fear of colorectal cancer recurrence can cause a great deal of anxiety and worry.
Signatera™ can help alleviate these concerns by making it much easier for doctors to assess response to treatment and watch for the earliest warning signs of recurrence. It is designed to detect molecular residual disease by looking for the distinct tumor DNA in each patient. This personalized, tumor-informed assay is optimized to provide accurate detection for each individual, making it a powerful source of information to help guide future care decisions.
