EGFR Gene Selective Sequencing of Exons 18-21 NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The EGFR Gene Selective Sequencing of Exons 18-21 NGS Genetic DNA Test is a pivotal diagnostic tool used in oncology. This test employs Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to detect mutations in the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) gene, which plays a critical role in the development and progression of various cancers, particularly non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
What the Test Measures
This test specifically measures mutations in exons 18 to 21 of the EGFR gene. These mutations can significantly influence the effectiveness of targeted therapies, making it essential for personalized cancer treatment.
Who Should Consider This Test
Patients diagnosed with cancer, especially those with non-small cell lung cancer, should consider this test. Symptoms that may prompt testing include:
- Persistent cough
- Shortness of breath
- Unexplained weight loss
- Chest pain
Risk factors include a history of smoking, exposure to environmental pollutants, and family history of lung cancer.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Helps in determining the most effective treatment options for cancer patients.
- Guides oncologists in making informed decisions regarding targeted therapies.
- Can lead to improved patient outcomes and survival rates.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the EGFR Gene Selective Sequencing of Exons 18-21 NGS Genetic DNA Test will indicate the presence or absence of specific mutations. A genetic counseling session is recommended to help interpret the results and discuss potential treatment options.
