Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- Tissue block with less than 10% tumor content
- Missing or incomplete NGS Test Requisition Form
- Sample degradation or contamination
Understanding Your Results
Positive for KRAS Mutation
May indicate resistance to anti-EGFR therapies in colorectal cancer; alternative treatments needed.
Positive for NRAS Mutation
Associated with certain cancers; influences treatment selection.
Negative for Mutations
Standard therapies may be effective; further testing recommended if clinically indicated.
Consult your oncologist immediately after receiving results to discuss personalized treatment options based on mutation status.
Limitations
- ⚠Detects only known mutations; novel variants may be missed
- ⚠Not a standalone diagnostic tool; must be used with clinical evaluation
- ⚠Results may vary based on tumor heterogeneity
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk from tissue biopsy procedure if sample not already available
- ●No direct risks from the genetic test itself
Interfering Factors
- ●Poor sample quality or insufficient tumor tissue
- ●Degraded DNA from improper sample storage
- ●Contamination during sample processing
