Find Clarity About Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumour (GIST) Concerns
When you’re worried about persistent digestive symptoms or have been diagnosed with a gastrointestinal mass, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our GIST Cancer Gene Panel Test provides the definitive answers you need to move forward with confidence and proper treatment planning.
Understanding Your GIST Genetic Test
This comprehensive genetic analysis examines 7 crucial genes that play key roles in GIST development and progression. Using advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) and immunohistochemistry, we detect specific mutations in:
- KIT and PDGFRA genes – The primary drivers of most GIST cases
- BRAF and TP53 genes – Important for treatment response and prognosis
- CD117 and DOG-1 markers – Essential for accurate diagnosis
- ERBB2 gene – Additional therapeutic targets
This detailed genetic profile helps your oncologist understand exactly what’s driving your condition and which targeted therapies will be most effective.
Who Should Consider This GIST Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Unexplained abdominal pain or discomfort
- Digestive issues that don’t resolve with standard treatments
- A diagnosed gastrointestinal mass or tumour
- Family history of gastrointestinal cancers
- Need for targeted therapy selection after GIST diagnosis
- Monitoring treatment response in existing GIST cases
Early genetic profiling can significantly impact your treatment success and long-term outcomes.
