Test Overview & Methodology
This non‑invasive liquid biopsy detects cancer‑associated EGFR mutations (T790M, L858R, Exon 19 deletion) in circulating cell‑free DNA from a peripheral blood sample, guiding precision therapy for non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor (Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, DHA Registration ID: 61713011): “EGFR liquid biopsy results must always be correlated with full clinical context and imaging studies. A negative result does not exclude actionable mutations, and a positive finding warrants urgent multidisciplinary tumour board review. This test is a powerful complementary tool, not a standalone verdict.”
Exclusion Criteria & ER Red Flags
- Exclusion: Not applicable for surgical clearance, pregnancy screening, or travel‑abroad fitness evaluation.
- Prescription mandatory: Valid physician prescription required; test not intended for self‑directed screening.
- Paediatric compliance: For minors, guardian consent and provisions of Federal Decree‑Law No. 45 of 2021 apply.
- Emergency Red Flags: If you develop sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, haemoptysis, or severe unexplained fatigue, seek emergency medical care immediately – do not wait for test results.
Advisory Notice
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your treating physician. This test does not replace clinical evaluation.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the purpose of the EGFR liquid biopsy test?
The liquid biopsy detects EGFR gene mutations (T790M, L858R, exon 19 deletion) in blood to guide targeted lung cancer therapy with high precision. It is primarily used at diagnosis, at progression on first‑line tyrosine kinase inhibitors, or when tissue biopsy is insufficient. Results help oncologists choose the most effective EGFR‑TKI, avoid ineffective treatments, and monitor resistance.
2. How should I prepare for the blood draw?
No fasting or special preparation is needed; simply continue your prescribed medications and bring your doctor’s prescription. Drink water to stay hydrated. The phlebotomist will collect a standard peripheral blood sample using a special cell‑free DNA stabilisation tube. Avoid heavy physical exertion 30 minutes before collection if possible.
3. How long until I receive my results and what do I do next?
Results are delivered securely within 5–7 working days; your oncologist will interpret the findings and discuss the next steps in your treatment plan. Do not alter your therapy on your own. If a resistance mutation like T790M is detected, a targeted third‑generation EGFR‑TKI may be recommended. If no mutation is found, your doctor may repeat testing or consider alternative diagnostics.
4. Is home collection available for this test?
Yes. Since the specimen is peripheral blood, VIP Mobile Phlebotomy and temperature‑controlled cold‑chain home collection are available daily from 8 AM to 11 PM. A certified phlebotomist will visit your home or office within the designated service area.
5. What is the price and how can I pay?
The test price is 2000 AED. Direct billing is available for select insurance plans; please verify coverage via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731. Self‑pay options include cash, card, or bank transfer.
