Cancer Targeted Gene Panel CNS Tumor Test
The Cancer Targeted Gene Panel CNS Tumor Test is a comprehensive diagnostic tool designed to identify genetic mutations and alterations in patients with central nervous system (CNS) tumors. This test is crucial for oncologists in tailoring personalized treatment plans, improving patient outcomes, and enhancing the overall management of cancer.
What the Test Measures
This test detects various genetic components associated with CNS tumors, including:
- 1p19q codeletion
- EGFR amplification
- IDH1 (IHC)
- Ki67
- ATRX
- TP53
- IDH1 & 2 mutation
- PTEN
- BRAF
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is recommended for individuals exhibiting symptoms of CNS tumors, or those with risk factors such as a family history of cancer, previous cancer diagnoses, or neurological symptoms. Early detection through genetic testing can lead to timely interventions and better treatment strategies.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Provides critical insights into tumor genetics, aiding in personalized treatment.
- Helps oncologists make informed decisions regarding targeted therapies.
- Facilitates early detection of potential cancer recurrence.
- Enhances overall patient management and monitoring.
