Understanding Your Solid Tumor Genetics: A Path to Targeted Treatment
Receiving a solid tumor diagnosis can feel overwhelming, but knowledge is your greatest ally. Our comprehensive genetic panel provides the clarity you need to make informed treatment decisions with confidence. We understand the anxiety and uncertainty that comes with cancer, which is why we’ve designed this test to deliver precise, actionable information about your specific genetic profile.
What This Test Reveals About Your Cancer
This advanced genetic panel examines five crucial biomarkers in your tumor tissue: EGFR, ALK1, ROS1, MET, and PDL1. Think of these as the unique “fingerprints” of your cancer that determine how it responds to different treatments. By identifying these specific genetic mutations, your oncologist can recommend targeted therapies that are more likely to be effective for your particular cancer type.
Using sophisticated methods including FISH analysis, Sanger Sequencing, and Immunohistochemistry (IHC), we provide a comprehensive genetic profile from your paraffin-embedded tissue blocks. This means no additional invasive procedures are needed – we work with the tissue sample you already have.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Testing?
This test is particularly valuable if you:
- Have been diagnosed with lung cancer, breast cancer, or other solid tumors
- Are exploring targeted therapy options beyond standard chemotherapy
- Want to understand why previous treatments may not have been fully effective
- Are seeking personalized treatment approaches based on your genetic makeup
- Want to participate in clinical trials that require specific genetic markers
Many South African patients find this testing provides the missing piece in their treatment puzzle, especially when standard approaches haven’t delivered the expected results.
Why Genetic Testing Matters for Your Health Journey
Understanding your tumor’s genetic profile transforms uncertainty into actionable information. The benefits include:
- Personalized Treatment: Match your cancer with therapies specifically designed for your genetic mutations
- Reduced Side Effects: Targeted treatments often have fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy
- Improved Outcomes: Patients receiving genetically-matched treatments typically experience better response rates
- Peace of Mind: Knowing you’re pursuing the most scientifically advanced approach available
- Cost Efficiency: Avoid spending on treatments unlikely to work for your specific cancer type
Understanding Your Results with Confidence
We know waiting for results can be stressful. That’s why we provide clear, comprehensive reports within 5-7 days that your oncologist can easily interpret. Your report will clearly indicate:
- Which genetic mutations are present in your tumor
- What these findings mean for your treatment options
- Potential targeted therapy recommendations
- Next steps in your treatment journey
Our genetic counselors are available to help you understand your results and discuss them with your healthcare team. You’re not alone in this process.
