Lung and Colon Cancer Genetic Test
What is Lung and Colon Cancer Genetic Test?
It detects numerous gene regions of interest for researchers looking to explore the genetic sequences of both germline and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) DNA from lung cancer and colon cancer samples. Utilizing SLIMamp® (stem-loop inhibition mediated amplification) allows researchers to amplify regions of interest in a simple, multiplex reaction for subsequent sequencing on a sequencer using a paired-end read length of 150 (2×150).

The majority of lung cancers (~85%) are classified as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).[4] Nearly half of NSCLC cases are associated with point mutations, or other biomarkers such as EGFR. The prevalence of these biomarkers varies between ethnic populations. The proportion of EGFR mutations is much higher in NSCLC patients in Asia (30-40%) than in NSCLC patients in the US and Europe (10-15%).[1]

An approximation of 35-40% of patients with CRC found activating mutations in KRAS. Therefore, KRAS-mutation status can be a predictive biomarker for response to anti-EGFR-targeted therapy. There is now strong evidence that cetuximab and panitumumab are effective to patients with CRC whose tumours carry a wild-type KRAS gene. [2]
