What is KRAS mutation analysis?

This test analyzes a tissue sample to detect specific mutations in the KRAS gene. KRAS mutations are common in certain cancers and can influence how a tumor responds to targeted therapies.

Why is this test important?

Identifying KRAS mutations is vital for guiding treatment decisions in cancer patients, particularly for colorectal and lung cancers. It helps oncologists determine if certain targeted therapies will be effective or if alternative treatments should be considered.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required. The tissue sample is typically collected during a biopsy or surgery.
