Overview
The purpose of the Lung Cancer Panel 8 is to detect specific genetic mutations and rearrangements that drive lung cancer. This information is vital for personalized treatment decisions, predicting response to targeted therapies, and identifying patients who may benefit from immunotherapy. Early detection of these biomarkers can significantly impact prognosis and survival.

Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- Insufficient tumor content (<20%)
- Sample with extensive necrosis
- Decalcified bone tissue
- Improperly labeled or damaged sample
Understanding Your Results
EGFR mutation positive
Indicates sensitivity to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (e.g., erlotinib, osimertinib).
ALK rearrangement positive
Indicates benefit from ALK inhibitors (e.g., crizotinib, alectinib).
ROS1 rearrangement positive
Indicates benefit from ROS1 inhibitors (e.g., crizotinib, entrectinib).
MET exon 14 skipping mutation
Indicates potential benefit from MET inhibitors (e.g., capmatinib).
BRAF V600E mutation
Indicates potential benefit from BRAF inhibitors (e.g., dabrafenib) combined with MEK inhibitors.
PDL1 TPS ≥50%
High expression suggests likely response to PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors (e.g., pembrolizumab).
Consult your oncologist if you have been diagnosed with lung cancer and are considering targeted therapy or immunotherapy. Also, consult if you experience new or worsening symptoms.
Limitations
- ⚠This panel does not detect all possible lung cancer mutations
- ⚠Results are dependent on tumor tissue quality and quantity
- ⚠PDL1 IHC results may vary with different antibody clones
- ⚠Negative results do not rule out the presence of other genetic alterations
Risks & Considerations
- ●Biopsy procedure may carry a small risk of bleeding or infection
- ●No significant risks associated with the test itself
Interfering Factors
- ●Inadequate tumor tissue sample
- ●Decalcification of bone samples
- ●Necrotic tissue
- ●Fixation artifacts
- ●Recent chemotherapy or radiation may affect results
