Description
(52 genes + CTC)
Blood, NA, Fasting or Non Fasting: As suggested by doctor
Sample Required:
16–20 mL whole blood in Streck tube (2–8°C) AND 8–10 mL whole blood in EDTA tube (2–8°C)
Test Time:
Sample collection: 10–15 minutes. Report typically available in 8–12 working days.
Test Normal Range:
No fixed normal range; results report presence or absence of mutations/fusions
What is the Test:
This test analyzes circulating tumor DNA and circulating tumor cells in the blood to detect genetic mutations and fusions associated with solid organ tumors.
Test Procedure:
It involves drawing blood into Streck and EDTA tubes, stabilizing the sample, and performing next-generation sequencing (NGS) and immunocytochemistry (ICC).
When to Take the Test:
Recommended when tissue biopsy is not possible, for baseline profiling, or to guide targeted therapy.
Who Should Take This Test:
Patients with known or suspected solid organ cancers needing genomic profiling.
Precautions for Exceptional Cases:
Inform your doctor if pregnant, immunocompromised, or undergoing chemotherapy/radiation; avoid sample collection within 24 hours of transfusion.
