Take Control of Your Lung Health with Advanced Genetic Testing
When facing a lung cancer diagnosis or concerning symptoms, having the right information can make all the difference in your treatment journey. Our Lung Cancer Panel 1 EGFR ALK1 test provides the genetic insights needed to guide your healthcare decisions with confidence and clarity.
Understanding Your Lung Cancer Panel Test
This specialised test examines specific genetic markers in your lung tissue that play a crucial role in determining the most effective treatment approach. By analysing EGFR and ALK1 genes, we identify mutations that can respond exceptionally well to targeted therapies, potentially avoiding the need for conventional chemotherapy in some cases.
Using advanced FISH and Sanger Sequencing technologies, our laboratory delivers highly accurate results that your oncologist can use to create a personalised treatment plan tailored specifically to your genetic profile.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you:
- Have been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer
- Are experiencing persistent cough, chest pain, or breathing difficulties
- Have a family history of lung cancer
- Are a current or former smoker with concerning symptoms
- Want to explore targeted therapy options before considering chemotherapy
- Need clarity on whether your cancer might respond to specific medications
