FAQ

What is anti-EGFR therapy?

KRAS plays a key role in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway, which controls cell growth, division, survival, and death. This complex pathway involves various components working together to regulate cell growth and division without causing cell proliferation. However, in certain types of cancer, EGFR becomes activated without the presence of EGF, resulting in uncontrolled cell proliferation. Luckily, drugs that target EGFR or TK enzymes can successfully treat these types of cancer. This is anti-EGFR therapy.

Are there different types of KRAS mutations?

There exists several categories of KRAS mutations, with approximately 50% of patients having a specific type known as KRAS G12C.

Can a KRAS Mutation be detected from a blood sample?

Medical laboratories have the capability to perform KRAS mutation testing on various samples such as tumor tissue, bone marrow, and blood. However, it is important to note that KRAS mutation research in treatment response has been solely based on tumor testing. Therefore, it is recommended to use tumor tissue as the preferred sample for KRAS testing.

KRAS Mutation Test in Jamnagar

Sterling Accuris offers the KRAS Mutation Test in Jamnagar to detect mutations in the KRAS gene that indicate certain types of cancer.

Overview of the KRAS Mutation Test

The KRAS Mutation test detects mutations in the oncogene KRAS (Kirsten rat sarcoma virus). The KRAS gene codes for a protein that facilitates cell signaling pathways regulating cell growth, maturation, and death. However, mutations in this gene can trigger cancerous growth in previously healthy cells. There are many cancers associated with KRAS gene mutation including but not limited to:

  • Non-small cell lung carcinoma
  • Colorectal Carcinoma
  • Acute Myeloid Leukemia
  • Melanoma
  • Noonan Syndrome
  • Pancreatic Carcinoma

Sterling Accuris offers a reliable KRAS Mutation Test in Jamnagar with timely reports.

Why and When is the KRAS Mutation Test Done

The purpose of the KRAS mutation test is to identify KRAS gene mutations in tumor tissue, providing crucial information for guiding cancer therapy and evaluating prognosis. This analysis is primarily ordered to ascertain the suitability of standard therapy and anti-EGFR drug therapy for treating cancer. KRAS gene-mutated tumors do not respond to anti-EGFR therapy. If the most common KRAS mutation is not present, additional tests for less common mutations may be employed to accurately predict therapeutic responses. 

KRAS Mutation Test: Main Highlights

  • Instructions: No fasting is required
  • Recommended age: All age groups
  • Sample type: FFPE Tissue

How to interpret the KRAS Mutation Test Report

KRAS Mutation is indicated by a positive (present) test report.

If your cancer contains a KRAS mutation, EGFR targeted therapies are unlikely to benefit you. A KRAS mutation is also linked with a higher likelihood of poorer prognosis, though the severity and aggressiveness of the cancer cannot be predicted based on a specific mutation.

While a negative result on the KRAS test suggests that anti-EGFR therapy may be effective, it does not guarantee this outcome. Lack of a KRAS mutation determined by the KRAS test may be due to an insufficient tumor tissue sample, presence of both mutated and non-mutated cancer cells, or undetected KRAS mutations in specific DNA locations.
