Glioma Panel – Advance
The Glioma Panel – Advance tests for advanced genetic markers and mutations in gliomas, including IDH1/2, MGMT promoter methylation, and other molecular alterations. This test provides detailed information about the glioma’s molecular profile, guiding treatment decisions and prognosis. It helps tailor personalized therapy for glioma patients.
Overview of Glioma Panel – Advance in Kochi
What is Glioma Panel – Advance (EGFR & 1P AND 19Q) test?
A combined assay that evaluates EGFR (commonly amplification and selected mutations/variant III) and detects 1p/19q whole‑arm codeletion, reported within an integrated neuro‑oncology workup. Results help establish lineage: 1p/19q codeletion supports oligodendroglioma when paired with IDH mutation. EGFR amplification is a hallmark feature of IDH‑wildtype glioblastoma and is generally mutually exclusive with true whole‑arm 1p/19q codeletion.
Why consider Glioma Panel – Advance (EGFR & 1P AND 19Q) test in Kochi?
Improves diagnostic confidence when histology is limited or equivocal by capturing two pivotal copy‑number signatures that steer classification and grade assignment.
Guides treatment decisions: EGFR amplification may inform eligibility for EGFR‑targeted strategies/clinical trials, whereas confirmed 1p/19q codeletion predicts chemosensitivity and better outcomes in oligodendroglioma.
Who should get tested for Glioma Panel – Advance (EGFR & 1P AND 19Q) test in Kochi?
Patients with newly diagnosed diffuse gliomas in whom distinguishing oligodendroglial lineage from IDH‑wildtype glioblastoma would change management.
Cases with small biopsies or conflicting findings where EGFR status and 1p/19q copy‑number clarify diagnosis and prognosis, or recurrent disease where re‑profiling may open targeted trial options.

Glioma is a primary tumor of glial cells in the brain and spinal cord, now classified primarily by molecular markers alongside histology, especially IDH mutation status and 1p/19q codeletion in adults. Modern classification separates adult diffuse gliomas into IDH‑mutant astrocytoma, IDH‑mutant and 1p/19q‑codeleted oligodendroglioma, and IDH‑wildtype glioblastoma, which differ in prognosis and therapy response.
