Cancer Targeted Gene Panel Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor GIST Test
Introduction
The Cancer Targeted Gene Panel Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) Test is a specialized diagnostic tool that plays a crucial role in the management of gastrointestinal stromal tumors. GISTs are a type of cancer that occurs in the digestive tract, most commonly in the stomach or small intestine. This test is designed to identify specific genetic mutations that can influence treatment decisions and improve patient outcomes.
What the Test Measures
This test detects mutations in several key genes associated with GIST, including:
- CD117
- DOG-1
- ERBB2
- KIT
- BRAF
- PDGFRA
- TP53
By analyzing these genes, oncologists can better understand the tumor’s characteristics and tailor treatment strategies accordingly.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is highly recommended for individuals showing symptoms of GIST, such as:
- Abdominal pain or discomfort
- Unexplained weight loss
- Gastrointestinal bleeding
- Palpable abdominal mass
Additionally, those with a family history of GIST or other related cancers should also consider this test as part of their diagnostic process.
Benefits of Taking the Test
The Cancer Targeted Gene Panel GIST Test offers numerous benefits, including:
- Accurate identification of genetic mutations
- Informed treatment decisions tailored to the patient’s specific tumor profile
- Potential eligibility for targeted therapies
- Improved monitoring of treatment response
Understanding Your Results
Results from the Cancer Targeted Gene Panel GIST Test will provide valuable insights into the genetic makeup of the tumor. Your oncologist will guide you through the interpretation of these results, helping you understand the implications for your treatment plan.
