Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the 50 genes analyzed. Consult a healthcare professional for interpretation and next steps.
📊

No pathogenic variants detected

Low genetic risk for the tested cancers; continue regular screenings.

📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Increased risk for associated cancers; further evaluation and personalized management recommended.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you experience symptoms of cancer or if results show pathogenic variants, consult an oncologist or genetic counselor immediately.

Limitations

  • ⚠Not a standalone diagnostic test; clinical correlation required
  • ⚠May not detect all genetic variants
  • ⚠Results should be interpreted by a qualified geneticist or oncologist

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risks from blood draw: bruising, infection
  • ●For biopsy: minor discomfort, bleeding

Interfering Factors

  • ●Poor sample quality
  • ●Contamination
  • ●Improper storage conditions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Cancer 50 Gene Panel NGS Test?
It is a comprehensive genetic test that analyzes 50 genes associated with various cancers using Next Generation Sequencing technology to detect mutations for early diagnosis.
Who should consider taking this test?
Individuals with a family history of cancer, those experiencing symptoms like unexplained weight loss or persistent pain, or those seeking early cancer risk assessment.
How is the test performed?
The test requires a blood sample or tissue biopsy. For leukemias, blood is drawn into an EDTA tube; for solid tumors, a tissue block is submitted. It uses NGS technology for analysis.
What samples are required?
For leukemias: 3 mL whole blood in a lavender top EDTA tube. For solid tumors: formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue block with at least 10% tumor tissue.
What is the cost of the test?
The cost is INR 40,000 at DNA Labs India, with free home sample collection available across India.
Is the test covered by insurance?
Yes, it is covered by most insurance plans. Patients should check with their insurance provider for specific coverage details.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 10 working days after sample receipt.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
Risks are minimal: for blood draw, possible bruising; for biopsy, minor discomfort. Both are standard medical procedures.
How should I prepare for the test?
No special preparation is needed. Ensure the NGS Test Requisition Form (Form 40) is duly filled and submitted with the sample.
What do the results mean?
Results show whether pathogenic variants are detected in the 50 genes. No variants indicate low risk; detected variants suggest increased cancer risk and need for further evaluation.
What should I do if the test shows mutations?
Consult an oncologist or genetic counselor immediately for personalized risk management, screening, or treatment options.
How can I book the test?
Book online through DNA Labs India's website for home sample collection or walk-in at their labs. Contact them via call or WhatsApp for assistance.
