Test Overview & Methodology
A minimally invasive genomic assay that quantifies epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) driver mutations from a single 10 mL blood draw โ replacing repeat tissue biopsies for treatment monitoring. This DHA-approved liquid biopsy empowers oncology teams in Dubai and Abu Dhabi to detect emergent resistance (e.g., T790M) or confirm sensitivity mutations faster than tissue NGS.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
โCirculating-free DNA analysis for EGFR driver mutations offers a non-invasive window into tumour genomics with high sensitivity. However, a negative result does not definitively exclude the presence of a mutation below the detection threshold. Clinical correlation with tissue genotype and multidisciplinary tumour board review remains essential before any targeted therapy switch.โ

โ ๏ธ Medication & Advisory Notice
Do not discontinue prescribed anticancer medication or targeted therapy without explicit instruction from your treating physician. This test informs treatment decisions; it does not replace clinical judgment or override your existing care plan.
Exclusion Criteria & ER Red Flags
- Not validated for patients with active haematological malignancies that release non-malignant circulating DNA.
- Recent blood transfusion or growth factor support within 7 days may dilute tumour fraction and compromise accuracy.
- If you experience new-onset chest pain, severe dyspnoea, or uncontrolled pain, seek emergency care immediately โ do not wait for test results.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. How quickly can I receive my EGFR liquid biopsy results in Dubai?
Your cfDNA EGFR report is released within 3 working days after the Monday or Thursday morning sample receipt, providing actionable T790M data faster than tissue NGS. Your genetic counsellor will schedule a follow-up call to review findings.
2. What sample is required and can it be collected at home?
A single 10 mL whole blood drawn into a Streck tube, collected by our VIP mobile phlebotomist between 8 AM โ 11 PM, refrigerated immediately and transported under temperature-controlled chain to our Dubai Healthcare City laboratory.
3. Is this test approved by UAE health authorities?
Fully compliant with Dubai Health Authority (DHA) molecular testing standards. The assay is processed in an ISO 9001:2015 certified facility under DHA Facility License No. 1143. All results are reviewed and signed off by a Consultant Medical Genetics.
