Lung Cancer mutation panel

Lung Cancer mutation panel

This test includes analysis of mutations of EGFR Exons 18-21 including EGFR T790M mutation, which is recommended in molecular testing guidelines for targeted treatment of lung cancer patients. Additionally the test also includes BRAF, KRAS, MET & RET mutations that are suggested to be performed if included as part of a larger panel if performed initially, or when routine EGFR, ALK, and ROS1 testing are negative*.
