LIQUID BIOPSY EGFR TRUE
A liquid biopsy test focused on detecting mutations in the EGFR gene, which are associated with non-small cell lung cancer. It helps in the personalized treatment of lung cancer.
LIQUID BIOPSY EGFR TRUE Test in Mangaluru Overview
What is Liquid Biopsy EGFR True test?
Liquid Biopsy EGFR True test analyzes a patient's blood sample to identify genetic mutations in the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) gene, primarily for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This test helps determine if a patient's cancer is susceptible to certain tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) drugs, enabling personalized treatment plans and improved patient outcomes. This test identifies mutations in the EGFR gene, which can influence treatment decisions for lung cancer and other tumors
Why consider Liquid Biopsy EGFR True test?
Liquid Biopsy EGFR True test identifies specific genetic changes (EGFR mutations) in tumor cells that predict sensitivity to targeted therapies called EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).
- Guides Targeted Therapy
- Personalized Treatment
- Detects Resistance Mutations
Who should get this Liquid Biopsy EGFR True test?
Liquid Biopsy EGFR True test is recommended by clinicians for
- Patients primarily those with newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), especially adenocarcinoma, to determine if their tumor has an EGFR gene mutation
- Patients with advanced NSCLC, especially adenocarcinoma or NSCLC‑NOS with adenocarcinoma features, as part of standard biomarker workup regardless of age, sex, or smoking history.
- Cases with sufficient tumor in FFPE blocks or slides; cytology cell blocks can also be suitable when tissue is limited, per lab validation.
More Information about Liquid Biopsy EGFR True test
EGFR mutation refers to a change in the epidermal growth factor receptor gene that causes continuous activation of its tyrosine kinase signaling, driving tumor growth, most commonly in non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The two most common mutations are exon 19 deletions and the exon 21 L858R point mutation, together accounting for about 85–90% of EGFR mutations in NSCLC.
