K4 Care (Comprehensive Genomic Profiling)
A comprehensive genomic profiling test that examines many cancer-related genes at once to build a detailed molecular picture of a tumour. It helps doctors match patients with targeted therapies and clinical trial options.

When to get this test
Matching targeted therapy
Identifies actionable genetic alterations that may guide the choice of targeted or immunotherapy.
Advanced or hard-to-treat cancers
Useful when standard testing is inconclusive or more treatment options are being explored.
Clinical trial eligibility
Provides genomic information that can help identify suitable clinical trials.
How to prepare
01
No special preparation needed.
02
Bring any relevant pathology or prior test reports if available.
Common questions
How long do results take?
Results are typically ready within 21 to 28 days because of the extensive analysis across many genes.
Do I need to fast?
No fasting is required for this test.
Who is this test for?
It is generally for patients with cancer who want a broad look at the tumour's genetic profile to inform treatment, usually as advised by their care team.
