What is KRAS NRAS HRAS BRAF PANEL NGS?

This comprehensive genetic test uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to analyze the KRAS, NRAS, HRAS, and BRAF genes from a tissue sample. It identifies specific mutations within these genes that are frequently associated with various types of cancer.

Why is this test important?

Detecting mutations in these genes, especially BRAF, is vital for personalizing cancer treatment. The results help oncologists choose appropriate targeted therapies for cancers like melanoma, colorectal, and lung cancer, improving patient outcomes by tailoring treatment to the tumor's genetic profile.

How to Prepare

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to fast before my blood test?
It depends on the test. Tests like lipid profile and fasting blood sugar require 10-12 hours of fasting. Tests like CBC, vitamin D, and thyroid do not require fasting. Each test page on our website clearly states the fasting requirements.
