The Personalized Oncology Through High-throughput Sequencing: MI-ONCOSEQ (Michigan Oncology Sequencing Center) (formerly known as “Personalized Medicine Based on Molecular Profiling of Patients with Cancer”) study implements a mechanism for patients who have advanced or refractory cancer to undergo tumor sequencing, sequence analysis, and return of clinically significant sequence results to patients, their families and the clinicians. This document is the revised study protocol. It contains 5 appendices: 1. Study Calendar; 2. Sample Molecular Report; 3. Adverse Event Reporting Form; 4. Genes Queried; 5. Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act.
