Doctor and Test Department
The CAN ASSIST BREAST Test is performed by an Oncologist in the HISTOLOGY department.
Pre Test Information
A duly filled Can Assist-Breast Test Requisition Form (Form 41) is mandatory before conducting the test.
Importance of the CAN ASSIST BREAST Test
The CAN ASSIST BREAST Test is crucial in determining the genotype of the Hepatitis C virus and detecting any mutations in the NS5a gene that may confer resistance to certain antiviral drugs. Genotyping helps in guiding treatment decisions as different genotypes may respond differently to medications. The NS5a gene is a target for direct-acting antiviral drugs used to treat Hepatitis C, and mutations in this gene can lead to drug resistance. Therefore, it is important to identify any such mutations before initiating treatment. The test involves taking a blood sample from the patient, which is then analyzed in a laboratory to determine the genotype and any drug resistance mutations present. The results of this test can help doctors select the most appropriate treatment regimen for their patients with Hepatitis C.

| Test Details | The Hepatitis C Viral RNA Genotype 1 NS5a Drug Resistance Test is a diagnostic test used to identify the genotype of the Hepatitis C virus and detect any mutations in the NS5a gene that may confer resistance to certain antiviral drugs. Genotyping determines the specific strain of the virus and is important in guiding treatment decisions, as different genotypes may respond differently to certain medications. The NS5a gene is a target for several direct-acting antiviral drugs used to treat Hepatitis C, such as daclatasvir and ledipasvir. Mutations in this gene can lead to drug resistance, making it important to identify any such mutations before initiating treatment. The test involves taking a blood sample from the patient, which is then analyzed in a laboratory to determine the genotype and any drug resistance mutations present. The results of this test can help doctors select the most appropriate treatment regimen for their patients with Hepatitis C. |
