MET Amplification NSCLC Test
Introduction
The MET Amplification NSCLC test is a vital diagnostic tool in the field of oncology, specifically designed to identify genetic mutations in patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Understanding these mutations is crucial for determining the most effective treatment strategies, enabling healthcare providers to offer personalized therapy that targets the specific genetic profile of the tumor.
What the Test Measures
This test detects the amplification of the MET gene, which is often associated with aggressive tumor behavior and poor prognosis in NSCLC patients. By analyzing tumor tissue samples, the MET Amplification NSCLC test provides essential information that can guide treatment decisions, including the use of targeted therapies.
Who Should Consider This Test
Patients diagnosed with NSCLC should consider the MET Amplification test, especially those exhibiting symptoms such as persistent cough, chest pain, or unexplained weight loss. Additionally, individuals with risk factors such as a history of smoking, exposure to environmental toxins, or a family history of lung cancer may benefit from this test.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Enables personalized treatment plans based on genetic profiling.
- Helps in identifying patients who may respond to targeted therapies.
- Contributes to better patient outcomes and management of NSCLC.
- Facilitates early detection of aggressive tumor characteristics.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the MET Amplification NSCLC test will indicate whether the MET gene is amplified in the tumor tissue. A positive result may suggest a higher likelihood of aggressive disease and could influence treatment options. It is essential to discuss the results with your healthcare provider to understand their implications fully.

Booking Information
The MET Amplification (NSCLC) test can only be conducted with a Doctor’s prescription. Please note that a prescription is not required for surgery and pregnancy cases or for individuals planning to travel abroad. The test requires tumor tissue samples and is performed using the FISH method, with a turnaround time of 7-8 days.
