Test Overview & Methodology
This advanced genomic panel detects actionable mutations in EGFR, ALK1, ROS1, and MET genes directly from tumor tissue, guiding targeted therapy decisions for non-small cell lung cancer. Designed for oncologists and pulmonologists, it combines Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization (FISH) and Sanger sequencing for high specificity, delivering results within 5–7 days. The panel is ordered after histopathological confirmation to avoid tissue exhaustion and ensures comprehensive coverage of both point mutations and gene rearrangements critical for tyrosine kinase inhibitor selection.
| Feature | Our Lung Cancer Panel 3 | Typical Single‑Gene EGFR Test |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% sensitivity (FISH + Sanger) | ~90% sensitivity; may miss fusions |
| Methodology | Fluorescence In‑Situ Hybridization + Sanger Sequencing | PCR‑based sequencing only |
| Turnaround | 5–7 days | 7–10 days (often with reflex testing) |
| Sample Requirement | FFPE tumor tissue block / biopsy | FFPE tissue, but tissue exhausted quickly |
| Coverage | Simultaneous detection of EGFR, ALK, ROS1, MET mutations | EGFR only; ALK/ROS1 require separate FISH test |
| UAE DHA Compliance | Fully compliant, ISO 9001:2015 & DHA recognized | Variable, often no integrated NGS/FISH accreditation |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"As a diagnostic radiologist specializing in oncology imaging, I recognize the importance of precise genomic profiling for lung cancer management. This panel provides the critical mutation data required for personalized therapy. Results must be integrated with clinical history and imaging findings; never alter or discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your oncology team." – Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor, Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, DHA Registration ID: 61713011
Advisory Notice
⚠️ Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Not suitable for patients without histopathologically confirmed NSCLC tissue specimen.
- Liquid biopsy (blood ctDNA) is not an accepted substitute for this panel; tumor tissue biopsy is mandatory.
- Pediatric patients require pediatric oncology consultation and guardian consent per UAE Child Protection Law.
- ER Red Flags: If you experience acute respiratory distress, massive hemoptysis (coughing up blood), severe chest pain, or sudden neurological symptoms, seek emergency medical care immediately. This test is not a substitute for acute care.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the Lung Cancer Panel 3 test, and how does it guide treatment?
This advanced genomic test identifies EGFR, ALK1, ROS1, and MET mutations directly from tumor tissue, enabling precise targeted therapy selection for non-small cell lung cancer patients. It uses FISH and Sanger sequencing to detect both mutations and gene rearrangements, which are critical for prescribing tyrosine kinase inhibitors or other targeted drugs. The panel is ordered after pathological diagnosis to avoid unnecessary tissue exhaustion.
2. How is the sample collected, and what is the turnaround time?
A tissue biopsy (FFPE block or fresh tumor specimen) is required. Collection is performed at your hospital or clinic by the treating physician; our secure medical courier retrieves the specimen under cold-chain conditions. Results are delivered within 5–7 days. The specimen must be processed within 24 hours for optimal DNA/RNA integrity. You will receive a secure digital report covered by UAE PDPL data privacy.
3. Is this panel covered by insurance, and what do I need for the procedure?
Most UAE insurance plans cover this molecular profiling when prescribed by an oncologist; we verify insurance directly via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731 and require only a doctor’s prescription. For patients travelling abroad or scheduled for surgery, a simplified protocol is available after clinical evaluation. Our team handles all pre‑authorizations seamlessly.
