Targeted Mutation Testing for Precision Lung Cancer Care
Targeting EGFR for Precise Lung Cancer Treatment Decisions
DNA GTx’s EGFR Test is designed to detect 8 key mutations (55 known variants) within exons 18–21 of the EGFR gene, which are commonly associated with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This focused test delivers rapid and accurate results, enabling oncologists to identify patients eligible for EGFR-targeted therapies and make informed decisions for personalized lung cancer care.
Who is this Test for?
- Patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
- Those being considered for targeted therapies based on EGFR mutation status
- Patients needing quick results to guide urgent treatment decisions
What it Screens for
- 8 key mutations (55 variants) in exons 18–21 of the EGFR gene
- Linked to:
- Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
Key Benefits
- Targeted Mutation Detection: Focuses on clinically relevant EGFR variants.
- Supports Personalized Treatment: Guides use of EGFR-targeted therapies in NSCLC.
- Rapid Turnaround: Delivers fast, actionable results for timely care.
- High Sensitivity & Specificity: Accurately detects mutations critical to treatment decisions.
Turn Around Time
- 3 days
Do You Need a Doctor’s Request?
Yes. A doctor must order this test to ensure the results are properly interpreted and used to guide treatment.
How it Works?
Step 1: FFPE Tissue Sample Collection
- Preserved tissue sample are collected from biopsies or surgeries.
- Stored in wax blocks, these samples keep DNA intact for testing.
Step 2: DNA Extraction
- We carefully extract the DNA from the sample.
- This DNA is what we need to study your genes.
Step 3: PCR Amplification
- Specific regions of DNA are copied millions of times.
- This makes even small mutations easier to detect.
Step 4: Data Analysis
- Our proprietary software (D-KRYPT) helps us understand what the DNA changes mean.
- The results are derived from trusted medical databases.
Step 5: Personalized Patient Report
- You got a clear, easy-to-read report with important findings.
- Your doctor can use this to guide treatment or next steps.
