Take Control of Your Cancer Treatment Journey
When facing a cancer diagnosis, every decision matters. The KRAS Mutation Codon 12 & 13 Test provides the clarity you need to make informed treatment choices that could significantly impact your recovery and quality of life. We understand the uncertainty and anxiety that comes with cancer treatment decisions, which is why we’ve made this essential genetic test accessible and affordable for South Africans.
Understanding Your KRAS Mutation Test
The KRAS gene plays a critical role in cell growth and division. When mutations occur at specific locations (codons 12 and 13), they can drive cancer growth and affect how your body responds to certain targeted therapies. Our test uses advanced PCR technology to detect these specific mutations, providing your oncologist with vital information to tailor your treatment plan.
Think of this test as a roadmap for your treatment journey – it helps identify which therapeutic paths are most likely to succeed, potentially saving you from treatments that won’t work and the associated side effects.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you have been diagnosed with:
- Colorectal cancer – to determine eligibility for EGFR inhibitor therapies
- Non-small cell lung cancer – for treatment planning and prognosis
- Pancreatic cancer – to guide targeted treatment approaches
- Other solid tumours where KRAS mutations may impact treatment decisions
If your oncologist has mentioned targeted therapies or you’re exploring treatment options, this test provides the genetic information needed for personalised medicine.
Why This Test Matters for Your Health
The KRAS mutation test offers several life-changing benefits:
- Personalised Treatment: Avoid ineffective treatments and their side effects
- Better Outcomes: Increase the likelihood of treatment success
- Cost Savings: Prevent spending on therapies that won’t work
