Study summary
The current standard of care for molecular characterization of tumors is tissue based next generation sequencing (NGS) panel. Liquid biopsies (ie blood) are of increasing interest and have been implemented as a diagnostic tool in some countries. This study compares tissue based and liquid based testing to evaluate the detection rate and cost consequence of using this new tool in BC.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Age \> 18
* Patients with metastatic malignancy
* Patients undergoing tissue based molecular characterization by tissue based NGS panel
Part A - Simultaneous
* Tissue based NGS panel requested or reported within 4 weeks of enrolment
* Patients receiving treatment at BC Cancer
Part B - Sequential
* Tissue based NGS oncopanel does NOT identify a somatic tier 1 variant of strong clinical significance OR fails/not feasible due to insufficient tissue
* BC Cancer - Provincial (not including Vancouver Centre)
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients not available for follow up
* Patients who are not willing to consider systemic treatment options
Primary outcome measure(s)
Simultaneous: 12-month health resource utilization — 12 months To compare health resource utilization of tissue based NGS panel alone, versus NGS panel and FoundationOne liquid CDx measured in Canadian dollars
Sequential: Proportion of patients with an actionable sequencing result following uninformative standard care oncopanel results, treated at BC Cancer, outside Vancouver Centre. — 24 months To evaluate the ability of FoundationOne liquid CDx to detect actionable mutations that were not identified on the tissue based NGS oncopanel.
