Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the selected cancer genes. Mutations may suggest increased cancer risk or inform treatment strategies.
📊

Mutation detected

Presence of genetic alteration in one or more genes; consult a geneticist or oncologist for further evaluation.

📊

No mutation detected

No alterations found in the tested genes; however, this does not rule out cancer entirely. Clinical correlation is advised.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you have a family history of cancer, experience symptoms like unexplained weight loss or persistent lumps, or if results indicate mutations.

Limitations

  • Only tests for a predefined set of genes
  • Does not detect all cancer types or mutations
  • Results require interpretation by a genetic specialist
  • Not a standalone diagnostic tool; clinical correlation needed

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from blood draw (bruising, infection)
  • Tissue biopsy may involve slight pain or bleeding
  • Genetic results may have psychological impact

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination
  • Insufficient DNA quantity
  • Hemolyzed blood samples
  • Degraded tissue samples

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Cancer Gene Any 3 Markers NGS Test?
It is a genetic test that uses Next-Generation Sequencing to detect mutations in any three specified cancer-related genes from a list of over 50 genes, aiding in cancer risk assessment and diagnosis.
How much does the test cost?
The test costs INR 18,000 at DNA Labs India, with free home sample collection available in many cities across India.
What samples are required for the test?
For blood cancers, a 3 mL whole blood sample in an EDTA tube is needed; for solid tumors, a formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue block with at least 10% tumor tissue is required.
Is fasting required before the test?
No, fasting is not required. However, a duly filled NGS Test Requisition Form (Form 40) is mandatory.
How long does it take to get the results?
Results are typically available within 10 working days from the date of sample receipt.
What do the results indicate?
Results show whether mutations are present in the selected genes. Mutation detection may indicate increased cancer risk or guide treatment options; consult a geneticist for interpretation.
Who should take this test?
Individuals with a family history of cancer, those experiencing cancer symptoms, or patients undergoing cancer treatment for personalized therapy planning.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, DNA Labs India offers free home sample collection for this test in numerous cities across India, including Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, and others.
What are the limitations of the test?
The test only screens for a predefined set of genes and does not detect all cancer types. Results should be correlated with clinical findings.
How accurate is the NGS technology?
NGS is highly accurate for detecting genetic mutations, but accuracy depends on sample quality and laboratory practices.
Can this test diagnose cancer?
No, it identifies genetic predispositions or mutations associated with cancer. A definitive diagnosis requires additional clinical tests like biopsies or imaging.
What should I do if mutations are detected?
Consult a genetic counselor or oncologist immediately for further evaluation, risk management, and potential treatment options.
