Quest Advanced™ Oncology
LeukoVantage® Myeloid testing  by Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)

Because there’s more to monitoring

LeukoVantage® is an innovative selection of panels that provide confirmatory diagnosis, helping inform prognosis and therapeutic indications for:
  • Acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
  • Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN)
  • Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)
  • General Myeloid Panel
LeukoVantage panels utilize the latest in NGS technology, so you and your patients can know more, sooner, and make more informed treatment decisions.

Built on recent guidelines

LeukoVantage is a panel that offers physicians testing solutions for these disease states: acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and other myeloid neoplasms. Based on a comprehensive literature review and updated guidelines for gene inclusion from the World Health Organization and National Comprehensive Cancer Network®, the analyzed genes can help physicians make a more informed diagnosis and more closely monitor disease progression and their patients’ response to treatment.1-4

These 4 panels can help:
  • Classify acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
  • Aid in diagnosis of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN)
  • Make an early assessment of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)—detects mutated genes in early MDS when cytogenetics is uninformative3

A comprehensive series of 4 panels that interrogate genes that are guideline-indicated as relevant to myeloid diseases

The LeukoVantage Myeloid Mutation panels utilize NGS technology to reliably detect mutation levels down to 5% allele levels, single nucleotide variants, small insertions, and deletions.
a Internal tandem duplications and tyrosine kinase codon 835/836 mutations
b PTD: partial tandem duplication detected by a long-range PCR-based method

Enhanced reporting and ordering for more informed patient care

Our Quanum® for Healthcare Professionals portal offers enhanced reporting, with clinical annotation and tabular information that can facilitate productive conversations with patients.
