Liquid Bx Cell Free EGFR T790M L858R Exon 19 Deletion
Introduction
The Liquid Bx Cell Free EGFR T790M L858R Exon 19 Deletion test is a revolutionary diagnostic tool used in the field of oncology. This non-invasive test analyzes circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in peripheral blood to detect specific genetic mutations associated with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). By identifying these mutations, healthcare providers can tailor treatment plans to better suit individual patient needs, ultimately improving outcomes and quality of life.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically measures the presence of the EGFR T790M and L858R mutations as well as Exon 19 deletions in circulating tumor DNA. These mutations are critical indicators of the cancer’s response to targeted therapies, including tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
Who Should Consider This Test
Patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer, particularly those who have experienced disease progression while on EGFR-targeted therapy, should consider this test. Risk factors include:
- History of smoking
- Family history of lung cancer
- Exposure to environmental toxins
Symptoms that may warrant testing include persistent cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, and unexplained weight loss.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Non-invasive and quick turnaround time of 5-7 days
- Guides treatment decisions and helps in the selection of targeted therapies
- Monitors disease progression and treatment response
- Provides insights into the genetic profile of the tumor
Understanding Your Results
Results from the Liquid Bx Cell Free EGFR T790M L858R Exon 19 Deletion test can help determine the presence of specific mutations. A positive result may indicate that targeted therapy is appropriate, while a negative result could suggest alternative treatment options. It is essential to discuss your results with your healthcare provider for personalized interpretation and guidance.
