Abstract
The present technology relates to methods for determining whether a patient diagnosed with breast cancer, colorectal cancer, melanoma or lung cancer will benefit from or is predicted to be responsive to treatment with an individual therapeutic agent or a specific combination of therapeutic agents. These methods are based on screening a patient's solid tumors and detecting alterations in target nucleic acid sequences corresponding to a specific set of cancer-related genes. Kits for use in practicing the methods are also provided.
