NGS stands for next-generation sequencing, a laboratory method that reads DNA and sometimes RNA. It can look at many genes at the same time to find changes (variants) that may matter in cancer care. NGS is commonly used in oncology to help clarify diagnosis, guide therapy choices, and support clinical trial matching. It may be performed on tumor tissue, blood, or other samples depending on the clinical question.
