Overview

The purpose of the Liquid Biopsy 117 Gene Panel is to detect circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and identify actionable mutations that guide targeted therapy, monitor treatment response, and detect minimal residual disease. It helps oncologists make informed decisions about personalized treatment plans, including the use of targeted therapies and immunotherapies. Additionally, it can be used for early cancer detection in high-risk individuals and for tracking tumor evolution over time.

How to Prepare

  • Use Streck tube (black top) for sample collection.
  • Ensure proper mixing of blood with preservative by inverting tube 8-10 times.
  • Do not refrigerate or freeze the sample.
  • Transport sample at ambient temperature to the laboratory within 24 hours.

Understanding Your Results

The Liquid Biopsy 117 Gene Panel report identifies mutations in circulating tumor DNA. The presence of specific mutations may indicate cancer and guide targeted therapy. Absence of mutations does not rule out cancer.
Positive for a mutation: Indicates presence of ctDNA with that alteration. Clinical correlation required.
Negative for mutations: No detectable mutations in the analyzed genes. May be due to low ctDNA or absence of these mutations.
Variant of unknown significance (VUS): A genetic change with unclear clinical impact. Further analysis may be needed.
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult your oncologist or healthcare provider to discuss the results and their implications for your treatment plan.

Limitations

  • ⚠Only specific hotspots are covered for TP53 and other genes; full gene sequencing is not performed.
  • ⚠May not detect all types of cancer or all mutations.
  • ⚠Results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical findings.
  • ⚠Not intended for screening the general population.
  • ⚠May not be informative if ctDNA levels are below detection limit.

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risk of bleeding or bruising at the puncture site.
  • ●Rare risk of infection.
  • ●Fainting or dizziness during blood draw.

Interfering Factors

  • ●Recent blood transfusion may dilute ctDNA.
  • ●Clotting of sample due to improper mixing.
  • ●Insufficient blood volume.
  • ●Sample hemolysis.
  • ●Presence of benign clonal hematopoiesis may cause false positives.
