Gastro-Intestinal Cancer Gene Panel
Overview of Gastro-Intestinal Cancer Gene Panel in Alappuzha
What is Gastro-Intestinal Cancer Gene Panel test?
A Gastro-Intestinal (GI) Cancer Gene Panel is a next-generation sequencing (NGS) test that assesses multiple genes associated with hereditary GI cancers to identify actionable mutations for diagnosis, risk assessment, targeted therapy, and clinical trial eligibility. It can be ordered as a germline panel for inherited cancer risk for therapeutic biomarkers in cancers such as colorectal, gastric, pancreatic, hepatobiliary, and GIST.
Why consider Gastro-Intestinal Cancer Gene Panel test?
When a patient has symptoms or imaging suggesting GI cancers (like colorectal, gastric, pancreatic cancers), the gene panel can help identify specific genetic mutations linked to the tumor.
Identifying mutations helps doctors choose targeted therapies or immunotherapies that are more effective for the patient’s tumor type.
The panel can identify germline mutations that may affect family members and require genetic counselling.
