What is EGFR Real time PCR Assay?

This test uses Real-time PCR technology to detect specific mutations in the EGFR gene from a tissue sample. It's a precise method for identifying genetic changes that are important for guiding treatment decisions in certain types of cancer.

Why is this test important?

Identifying EGFR mutations, particularly in non-small cell lung cancer, is critical for determining patient eligibility for targeted therapies. This assay helps predict how a patient might respond to specific medications designed to block the activity of the mutated EGFR protein.

How to Prepare

Specific instructions will be provided by your healthcare provider regarding the tissue sample collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
