Colorectal Cancer Panel (NRAS, KRAS, BRAF) in UAE | 3600 AED | DNA Labs UAE
Clinical Certainty: 99.9% Diagnostic Sensitivity
ISO 9001:2015 accredited processing with dual NGS + Sanger confirmation ensures every mutation call is clinically actionable. Sample integrity maintained via validated cold-chain logistics for solid tumor tissue.
Test Overview & Methodology
The Colorectal Cancer Panel profiles three critical oncogenes — NRAS, KRAS, and BRAF — directly from your tumor tissue. This panel is essential for determining the right targeted therapy plan for colorectal cancer, increasing response chances and avoiding ineffective drug side effects.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“This panel is the cornerstone of anti‑EGFR therapy selection. As a specialist in diagnostic radiology, I rely on these results to guide clinicians in sparing patients from futile treatments and tailoring biologics precisely. Always correlate with full histological and imaging findings.” – Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor, Specialist Diagnostic Radiology (DHA: 61713011).
Clinical Advisory
Do not discontinue or modify any prescribed medication (including chemotherapy, targeted agents, or supportive care) based solely on this test result. Always consult your treating oncologist for interpretation and treatment decisions.
Exclusion Criteria & Red Flags
- Unsuitable for patients with non‑colorectal primary tumors; panel is validated only for colorectal adenocarcinoma.
- Tissue sample must be a formalin‑fixed paraffin‑embedded (FFPE) block or fresh tumor biopsy; cytology specimens are not accepted.
- Emergency Alert: If you experience rectal bleeding, severe abdominal pain, or signs of infection at the biopsy site, go to the nearest emergency department immediately.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the colorectal cancer panel detect, and how is the sample collected?
This panel identifies mutations in NRAS, KRAS, and BRAF genes that predict response to anti‑EGFR therapies. A small piece of your tumor tissue, obtained during biopsy or surgery and preserved in a formalin‑fixed paraffin‑embedded block, is sent under cold‑chain to our molecular lab via secure medical courier.
2. How long does it take to get results, and is any preparation required?
The final report is issued within 7–8 working days. No fasting or special preparation is needed as the test is performed on previously collected tumor tissue.
3. Why is this panel crucial before starting targeted therapy?
Without this, anti‑EGFR drugs like cetuximab or panitumumab are ineffective and potentially harmful for RAS‑mutant tumors. The panel ensures treatment is personalized, maximizing benefit and minimizing toxicity.
