Understanding Your Lung Cancer Treatment Options Starts Here
When facing a lung cancer diagnosis, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. We understand the questions racing through your mind: “What treatment will work best?” “Are there targeted options available?” Our ONCOPRO EGFR ARMS PCR test provides the answers you need to make informed decisions about your cancer care journey.
What This Test Reveals About Your Cancer
The EGFR ARMS PCR test is a sophisticated genetic analysis that detects specific mutations in the EGFR gene within your tumour tissue. Think of it as a molecular fingerprint that helps identify whether your cancer will respond to targeted therapies. These targeted treatments can be more effective and cause fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy.
Using Real Time PCR technology, our test provides highly accurate results that guide your oncologist in creating a personalised treatment plan specifically tailored to your cancer’s genetic profile.
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
This test is particularly valuable if you:
- Have been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
- Are experiencing persistent cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
- Have a family history of lung cancer
- Are a current or former smoker with concerning symptoms
- Want to explore targeted therapy options before starting treatment
- Need to determine if EGFR-targeted medications could benefit you
Early genetic testing can significantly impact your treatment success and quality of life during cancer care.
Why This Genetic Insight Matters for Your Health
Knowing your EGFR status provides several crucial benefits:
- Personalised Treatment: Identifies whether targeted therapies will work for your specific cancer type
- Reduced Side Effects: Targeted treatments often have fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy
- Improved Outcomes: Early identification of effective treatments can lead to better response rates
- Peace of Mind: Understanding your cancer’s genetic makeup reduces uncertainty about treatment options
- Cost-Effective Care: Avoids spending on treatments that may not work for your specific cancer
