Overview of the ALK Mutation Test
The anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene makes a protein that is important for cell growth, proliferation, and maturation. Detection of ALK gene rearrangement in the tumour tissues isolated from patients suffering from non-small cell lung cancer can provide important guidance for cancer therapy.
Book an ALK mutation test near you to detect gene rearrangement in tumour tissue. For accurate and reliable test results, you can rely on Sterling Accuris Diagnostics for an ALK mutation test in Khambhat .
Why and When Do You Require an ALK Mutation Test?
Gene rearrangement in the ALK gene occurs in a small proportion of patients suffering from small-cell lung cancer. As this gene is involved in cell growth and proliferation, continuous activation of this gene leads to ALK-driven tumour formation in such patients.
A healthcare provider may order an ALK mutation test if you are suffering from non-small cell lung cancer and a therapeutic plan must be devised. Symptoms for ALK mutation appear when cancer is present for some time and already spread from the lungs to other body parts. An ALK mutation detection makes it more likely that a person will respond to a targeted drug therapy for this cancer.
For reliable and error-free test results, you can head to Sterling Accuris Diagnostics for an ALK mutation test in Khambhat .
