What Is an NGS Lung Panel Test in Delhi?

An NGS lung panel test is an advanced genetic test that uses next-generation sequencing technology to examine multiple genes simultaneously in lung cancer tissue. This test analyses the DNA from your tumour tissue to identify specific genetic changes that drive cancer growth. It also helps detect genetic mutations and alterations in lung cancer cells, enabling your doctor to choose the most effective treatment for your specific type of cancer.

What Does an NGS Lung Panel Test Measure in Delhi?

The NGS panel test provides comprehensive genetic profiling of your lung tumour by examining key cancer-related genes:

Gene mutations: Identify changes in genes like EGFR, KRAS, and BRAF that can drive cancer growth.
Gene fusions: Detects when genes like ALK, ROS1, or RET have joined with other genes abnormally.
Treatment targets: Find specific genetic markers that respond to targeted therapy drugs.
Therapy resistance markers: Identify mutations that may affect how well certain treatments work.
Immunotherapy indicators: Helps determine if immunotherapy might be effective for your cancer.
Clinical trial eligibility: Provides information that may qualify you for specific research studies.

Who Should Consider an NGS Lung Panel Test?

This specialised test is recommended for specific groups of patients with lung cancer:

• Patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
• Individuals with advanced or metastatic lung cancer (Stage III or IV)
• Patients whose cancer has spread to other parts of the body
• Those who need personalised treatment planning before starting therapy
• Patients whose cancer has stopped responding to current treatment
• Individuals being considered for targeted therapy or immunotherapy
• Patients whose doctors need detailed genetic information to guide treatment decisions

What Is the Purpose of an NGS Lung Panel Test?

The NGS lung panel test enables precision medicine by identifying the unique genetic fingerprint of your lung cancer. This information helps your oncologist select treatments that are most likely to work for your specific type of cancer, potentially leading to better outcomes and fewer side effects compared to standard chemotherapy approaches.

Benefits include early identification of targetable mutations, accurate treatment selection, monitoring for resistance patterns, and access to clinical trials for new therapies.

Guide to Interpreting NGS Lung Panel Test Results

The following table guides understanding of your NGS lung panel test results and their clinical significance:

Parameters

Clinical Significance

ALK (SNVs, short indels & Fusions)

When detected, ALK inhibitors such as Crizotinib, Alectinib, or Ceritinib may be recommended.

BRAF (SNVs and short indels)

Can guide targeted therapy decisions; BRAF inhibitors (e.g., Dabrafenib, Vemurafenib) may be considered.

EGFR (SNVs and short indels)

When detected, targeted therapies like Erlotinib, Gefitinib, or Osimertinib may be effective.

ERBB2 (SNVs and short indels)

When detected, HER2-targeted therapies such as Trastuzumab or Neratinib may be beneficial.

KRAS (SNVs and short indels)

May influence treatment selection and prognosis; KRAS G12C inhibitors (e.g., Sotorasib, Adagrasib) may be used.

MAP2K1 (SNVs and short indels)

May indicate potential sensitivity or resistance to MEK inhibitors.

MET (SNVs, short indels, CNVs and Fusions)

May indicate eligibility for MET-targeted treatments such as Capmatinib or Tepotinib.

NRAS (SNVs and short indels)

May guide prognosis and influence the choice of MAPK pathway inhibitors.

PIK3CA (SNVs and short indels)

May inform the use of PI3K inhibitors or combination targeted therapies.

TP53 (SNVs and short indels)

Associated with tumour suppressor dysfunction; important for prognosis and treatment resistance assessment.

RET (SNVs, short indels & Fusions)

When detected, RET inhibitors like Selpercatinib or Pralsetinib may be recommended.

ROS1 (SNVs, short indels & Fusions)

When detected, specific targeted drugs like Crizotinib or Entrectinib may be beneficial.

NTRK (1, 2, 3) (Fusions)

When detected, TRK inhibitors such as Larotrectinib or Entrectinib may be effective.

 

What Preparations Are Needed for an NGS Lung Panel Test?

Since this test uses tissue from your lung biopsy, specific preparation steps are important for accurate results:

Clinical documentation required: Your doctor must provide clinical history along with histopathology and IHC reports.
Tissue sample coordination: The laboratory will coordinate with your hospital to obtain the FFPE tissue block from your biopsy.
No dietary restrictions: There are no fasting requirements or food restrictions before this test.
