Lung Cancer Panel 4 EGFR ALK1 ROS1 MET PD L1
Introduction to the Lung Cancer Panel 4
The Lung Cancer Panel 4 EGFR ALK1 ROS1 MET PD L1 is a specialized genetic test that plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer. This test analyzes tumor tissue to identify specific genetic mutations that can impact the effectiveness of targeted therapies. With lung cancer being one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths, understanding these genetic markers is crucial for personalized treatment plans.
What the Test Measures
This panel tests for mutations in the following genes:
- EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor)
- ALK1 (Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase)
- ROS1 (ROS Proto-Oncogene 1)
- MET (MET Proto-Oncogene)
- PD L1 (Programmed Death-Ligand 1)
Detecting these mutations helps oncologists determine the most effective treatment options for lung cancer patients.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Patients presenting with symptoms of lung cancer, including persistent cough, unexplained weight loss, and difficulty breathing, should consider this test. Additionally, individuals with risk factors such as a history of smoking or exposure to environmental pollutants may benefit from genetic testing to guide their treatment.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Enables personalized treatment plans based on genetic profiles.
- Helps in selecting targeted therapies that are more effective.
- Provides valuable information for prognosis and treatment response.
- May identify eligibility for clinical trials.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the Lung Cancer Panel 4 will indicate the presence or absence of specific mutations. Your healthcare provider will help interpret these results and discuss the implications for your treatment options.
