Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- FFPE block with less than 10% tumor tissue
- Improperly labeled or unlabeled samples
- Degraded, insufficient, or contaminated samples
Understanding Your Results
Mutation Detected
Indicates the presence of an EGFR mutation, which may guide the use of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors for targeted treatment.
No Mutation Detected
No actionable EGFR mutations found; alternative treatment options should be considered based on other tests.
Consult your oncologist if you experience symptoms of lung cancer, have been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer, or if this test is recommended for treatment planning or monitoring.
Limitations
- ⚠Only detects specific EGFR mutations listed; other alterations may be missed
- ⚠Cannot detect mutations outside the targeted exons
- ⚠Requires a minimum of 10% tumor tissue for accurate results
Risks & Considerations
- ●Risks associated with biopsy or surgical sample collection, such as bleeding or infection
- ●Minimal risk from the test itself as it is a laboratory procedure
Interfering Factors
- ●Insufficient tumor tissue in the sample
- ●Degraded DNA due to improper sample handling
- ●Contamination during laboratory processing
