Find Clarity in Your Cancer Journey with NTRK Gene Fusion Testing
When facing a cancer diagnosis, uncertainty can be overwhelming. The NTRK1, NTRK2 & NTRK3 Gene Fusion Test provides the precise answers you and your oncologist need to develop the most effective treatment plan. This advanced molecular test identifies specific genetic changes that drive certain cancers, opening doors to targeted therapies that can significantly improve outcomes.
Understanding Your NTRK Gene Fusion Test
The NTRK gene fusion test uses Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) technology to detect abnormal fusions between NTRK1, NTRK2, and NTRK3 genes. These fusions can act as “drivers” for cancer growth, and identifying them allows your medical team to consider targeted treatments specifically designed to block these cancer-causing mechanisms.
Using paraffin-embedded tissue blocks from your tumor sample, our expert pathologists analyze the genetic structure with exceptional accuracy, providing reliable results that form the foundation of your personalised treatment strategy.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly valuable for patients with:
- Advanced or metastatic cancers where standard treatments haven’t been effective
- Rare cancer types where NTRK fusions are more common
- Pediatric cancers where targeted therapies can be especially beneficial
- Cancers of unknown primary origin needing precise molecular characterization
- Patients seeking second opinions or exploring all treatment options
If you’re feeling uncertain about your treatment path or wondering if there are more targeted approaches available, this test could provide the answers you need.
Why This Test Matters for Your Health Journey
Early and accurate identification of NTRK gene fusions can be transformative for your treatment experience:
- Targeted Treatment Options: Identify eligibility for specific targeted therapies that may be more effective with fewer side effects
- Personalised Care: Move beyond one-size-fits-all approaches to treatment tailored to your cancer’s genetic profile
- Treatment Confidence: Make informed decisions with your medical team based on solid molecular evidence
- Peace of Mind: Reduce uncertainty by understanding the specific drivers of your cancer
- Potential for Better Outcomes: Targeted therapies for NTRK-positive cancers have shown remarkable response rates
Understanding Your Results with Confidence
We understand that waiting for test results can be anxiety-provoking. Our team ensures you receive clear, comprehensive reports within 7-8 days. Your results will clearly indicate whether NTRK gene fusions are present, and our genetic counsellors are available to help you and your doctor understand what this means for your treatment options.
Remember: A positive result opens doors to targeted therapies, while a negative result helps your medical team focus on other effective treatment strategies. Either way, you gain valuable information to guide your care.
