Krasnras Test
Introduction to Krasnras
The Krasnras test is a vital diagnostic tool used to identify genetic mutations in tumor tissues. Understanding these mutations is crucial for tailoring effective treatment plans for cancer patients. This test utilizes Sanger Sequencing, a reliable method that provides accurate results, ensuring that patients receive the best possible care based on their unique genetic profiles.
What the Test Measures
The Krasnras test specifically measures mutations in the KRAS and NRAS genes, which are known to influence the behavior of certain cancers. By analyzing paraffin-embedded tissue blocks, this test helps oncologists understand how the cancer may respond to various therapies, allowing for more personalized and effective treatment options.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is recommended for patients diagnosed with specific types of cancer, particularly those with colorectal, lung, and pancreatic cancers. Individuals exhibiting symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, persistent cough, or changes in bowel habits should consult their healthcare provider about the need for this test. Additionally, those with a family history of cancer may also benefit from genetic testing.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Allows for personalized treatment plans based on genetic mutations.
- Helps in predicting the effectiveness of targeted therapies.
- Provides valuable information for clinical decision-making.
- Enhances the understanding of the disease progression.
Understanding Your Results
Once the results are available, usually within 7-8 days, they will be reviewed by a qualified healthcare professional. It is important to discuss the findings with your doctor, who can explain what the mutations mean for your treatment options and overall prognosis.
