In plain language

What this test helps you understand

This test helps identify specific genetic mutations in three chosen genes associated with cancer development or progression. It can aid in understanding cancer risk, guiding personalized treatment strategies, and identifying potential hereditary cancer syndromes.
The Cancer Gene Any 3 Markers NGS Test is an advanced diagnostic tool designed to identify genetic mutations that may contribute to the development of cancer. Utilizing Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, this test analyzes specific genes associated with various oncological conditions. Early detection and understanding of these mutations can significantly impact treatment decisions and patient outcomes.

This test measures mutations in any three genes selected from a list including ABL1, EGFR, GNAS, KRAS, PTPN11, AKT1, ERBB2, GNAQ, MET, RB1, ALK, ERBB4, HNF1A, MLH1, RET, APC, EZH2, HRAS, MPL, SMAD4, ATM, FBXW7, IDH1, NOTCH1, SMARCB1, BRAF, FGFR1, JAK2, NPM1, SMO, CDH1, FGFR2, JAK3, NRAS, SRC, CDKN2A, FGFR3, IDH2, PDGFRA, STK11, CSF1R, FLT3, KDR, PIK3CA, TP53, CTNNB1, GNA11, KIT, PTEN, and VHL.

This test is recommended for individuals who have a family history of cancer, present symptoms suggestive of genetic predisposition to cancer, or are undergoing treatment for cancer and require genetic information for personalized therapy. Results provide insights into the presence of specific mutations, helping healthcare providers guide treatment decisions and management strategies. Confirm with the laboratory before booking.
