Lung Cancer Panel 8 (EGFR, BRAF, ALK, ROS, MET, PDL1)
Introduction to the Lung Cancer Panel 8 Test
The Lung Cancer Panel 8 test is a revolutionary diagnostic tool designed to identify specific genetic mutations in lung cancer patients. This panel includes testing for mutations in the EGFR, BRAF, ALK, ROS, MET, and PDL1 genes, which are crucial for understanding the molecular profile of lung tumors. By pinpointing these mutations, healthcare providers can tailor treatment strategies that are more effective for individual patients.
What the Test Measures
This comprehensive panel assesses tumor tissue samples for mutations that can drive cancer progression. The detection of these mutations is vital for determining eligibility for targeted therapies, which can significantly improve patient outcomes.
Who Should Consider This Test?
- Individuals diagnosed with lung cancer.
- Patients experiencing symptoms such as persistent cough, unexplained weight loss, or chest pain.
- Those with a family history of lung cancer or other risk factors.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Enables personalized treatment plans based on genetic makeup.
- Helps in identifying patients who may benefit from targeted therapies.
- Provides insights into the prognosis and potential response to treatment.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the Lung Cancer Panel 8 test can guide your healthcare provider in making informed treatment decisions. Typically, a report detailing the presence or absence of specific mutations will be provided, along with recommendations for next steps based on the findings.
