Understanding Your Cancer Treatment Options Starts Here
When you’re facing a cancer diagnosis, every piece of information matters. The KRAS Codon 61 Mutation Detection Test provides crucial genetic insights that can significantly impact your treatment journey. We understand the anxiety and uncertainty that comes with cancer, which is why we’ve made this advanced genetic testing accessible and affordable for South African patients.
What This Test Reveals About Your Cancer
The KRAS gene plays a critical role in cell growth and division. When mutations occur at codon 61, they can drive cancer progression and affect how your cancer responds to certain treatments. This test specifically identifies these mutations, giving your oncologist valuable information to tailor your treatment plan effectively.
Think of it as getting a detailed roadmap of your cancer’s genetic makeup – knowledge that can help avoid ineffective treatments and focus on approaches more likely to succeed.
Who Should Consider This Essential Test?
This test is particularly important if you have been diagnosed with:
- Colorectal cancer
- Lung cancer (non-small cell)
- Pancreatic cancer
- Other solid tumours where KRAS mutations are relevant
If your oncologist is considering targeted therapies or wants to understand why certain treatments might not be working as expected, this test provides the answers you need.
Why This Matters for Your Treatment Journey
Getting this test done can significantly impact your cancer care in several ways:
- Personalised Treatment: Helps identify which targeted therapies are most likely to work for your specific cancer type
- Avoid Unnecessary Treatment: Prevents spending time and resources on treatments that may not be effective
- Better Outcomes: Guides your medical team toward more successful treatment strategies
- Peace of Mind: Provides clarity and confidence in your treatment decisions
