About FoundationOne
FoundationOne™, the first clinical product from Foundation Medicine, is a fully informative genomic profile that complements traditional cancer treatment decision tools and often expands treatment options by matching each patient with targeted therapies that are relevant to the molecular changes in their tumor.
FoundationOne is the first commercially available targeted sequencing assay utilizing clinical grade next-generation sequencing (NGS) in routine cancer specimens. This test identifies all classes of genomic alterations (including copy number alterations, insertions, deletions and rearrangements) in hundreds of cancer-related genes. FoundationOne's genomic profile results are reported to the physician and matched with targeted therapies and clinical trials that may be relevant to each individual patient based on the most recent scientific and medical research.

About Foundation Medicine
Foundation Medicine is a molecular information company dedicated to a transformation in cancer care in which individual patient treatment is informed by a deep understanding of the genomic changes that contribute to that patient’s unique cancer. The company has developed a fully informative genomic profile to identify a patient’s individual molecular alterations and match them with relevant targeted therapies and clinical trials. Foundation Medicine’s molecular information platform aims to improve day-to-day care for patients by serving the needs of clinicians, academic researchers and drug developers to help advance the science of molecular medicine in cancer.
