Test Details
The PIK3CA mutation analysis test is a genetic test that detects mutations in the PIK3CA gene. The PIK3CA gene provides instructions for making a protein called phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, which is involved in regulating cell growth and division. Mutations in the PIK3CA gene have been found in various types of cancer, including breast, colorectal, ovarian, and lung cancer.
These mutations can lead to the overactivation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase protein, resulting in uncontrolled cell growth and tumor formation. The PIK3CA mutation analysis test is typically performed on a tumor sample obtained through a biopsy or surgery. The sample is analyzed in a laboratory to identify specific mutations in the PIK3CA gene.
The results of the test can help guide treatment decisions for individuals with cancer. Some targeted therapies have been developed specifically for tumors with PIK3CA mutations, and knowing the mutation status can help determine if these treatments may be effective. It is important to note that the PIK3CA mutation analysis test is not a standalone diagnostic test for cancer. It is usually performed in conjunction with other tests and evaluations to determine the best course of treatment for an individual.
