Purpose of the Test
- Identify patients eligible for targeted TKI therapies.
- Predict patient response to crizotinib and similar drugs.
- Provide precision treatment options beyond standard chemotherapy.
Advanced molecular testing for lung cancer patients to detect specific gene rearrangements, enabling personalized targeted therapy selection for improved survival rates and more effective disease management strategies.
Scientific name: ALK and ROS1 Gene Rearrangement Testing (IHC/FISH)
A precise laboratory analysis of lung tissue samples to detect ALK and ROS1 rearrangements. This test identifies patients eligible for targeted therapies like crizotinib, ensuring a more effective treatment plan.
