FAQ

What does a positive BRAF Mutation Test mean?

A positive result indicates the presence of a BRAF mutation, which can impact treatment options and prognosis.

How can the BRAF Mutation Test benefit cancer patients?

Identifying BRAF mutations helps select appropriate targeted therapies and predict the response to these treatments.

Are there any risks associated with the BRAF Mutation Test?

The primary risk involves the tissue biopsy procedure, which is standard for cancer diagnosis and has minimal risks.

What makes Sterling Accuris a better pathology lab than others?

For us, precision care, safe sample collection, timely delivery of reports, and precise reporting of patient results while adhering to health and safety precautions are the cornerstone of our success.

What other packages does Sterling Accuris offer?

Sterling Accuris Diagnostics offers the BRAF Mutation Test in Mehsana, a targeted genetic test crucial for certain types of cancer.

Overview of the BRAF Mutation Test

The BRAF gene is involved in cell growth, and mutations in this gene are associated with various cancers, including melanoma, colorectal, and thyroid. The BRAF Mutation Test identifies specific mutations in the BRAF gene, notably the V600E mutation, which can influence treatment decisions and prognosis.

A BRAF mutation is an error in the BRAF gene that causes it to malfunction. This gene belongs to a group known as oncogenes, which, when mutated, can turn normal cells into cancerous ones. This specific mutation leads to continuous activation of a protein, prompting cells to divide without stopping, potentially resulting in tumour growth.

Unlike genetic mutations like BRCA, BRAF mutations are usually acquired during a person's life rather than inherited from parents. Therefore, they are not passed down to children. The BRAF Mutation Test in Mehsana detects these mutations, and the results are essential for guiding cancer treatment.

Testing for BRAF mutations primarily employs the following methodologies:

  1. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is used to amplify specific segments of the BRAF gene. This makes it easier to analyse and identify any mutations present. PCR is a susceptible technique that can detect even small amounts of mutant DNA in a sample. Real-Time PCR can specifically detect known BRAF mutations, such as the common V600E mutation.
  2. DNA Sequencing (Sanger Sequencing and Next-Generation Sequencing): Following PCR amplification, DNA sequencing is performed to pinpoint the exact nature of the mutation in the BRAF gene. Sanger sequencing is a traditional method for precisely reading specific gene segments. At the same time, Next-Generation Sequencing allows for comprehensive analysis of the entire gene and can simultaneously screen for multiple mutations.
  3. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) involves using antibodies to detect the presence of specific proteins, such as the BRAF protein, in tissue samples. This method can give clues about the existence of specific BRAF mutations based on the protein expression patterns.

Why and When is the BRAF Mutation Test Done?

This test is typically recommended for:

  • Individuals diagnosed with melanoma, colorectal cancer, or thyroid cancer, as these cancers are often associated with BRAF mutations.
  • Patients requiring targeted therapy, as specific BRAF mutations can make them eligible for certain targeted cancer treatments.

BRAF Mutation Test: Main Highlights

  • Instructions: No special fasting is required. A doctor’s prescription is necessary.
  • Recommended Age: Suitable for individuals diagnosed with cancers commonly associated with BRAF mutations.
  • Sample Type for Test: Tissue biopsy from the tumour or sometimes a blood sample.
  • TAT: Results are generally available within 1-2 weeks.
