Cancer Hotspot Panel
Overview
Certain genetic mutations are associated with various types of cancer. These mutations are often found in genes that regulate cell growth and division. The NextGen Cancer Hotspot 50 Gene Panel is an advanced diagnostic tool that revolutionizes cancer detection and treatment. This panel identifies specific genetic alterations in 50 key genes that are known to be frequently mutated in various types of cancer, enabling clinicians to personalize treatment plans and make informed decisions about targeted therapies. By analyzing these genetic hotspots, the panel enhances early detection, improves prognostic accuracy, and guides precision medicine approaches, ultimately leading to more effective treatments and improved patient outcomes in the battle against cancer.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Cancer Hotspot Panel detects specific genetic mutations in cancer-related genes. These mutations are often referred to as "hotspots" because they are commonly found in certain areas of the genes.
- To identify specific genetic mutations associated with cancer
- To guide treatment decisions by providing information about targeted therapies
- To assess the prognosis and predict the progression of certain cancers
- To aid in clinical trials for new cancer therapies
- To provide information about potential hereditary cancer risk
The Cancer Hotspot Panel is typically recommended for patients
- with a previous diagnosis of cancer, to gather more information about their specific genetic mutations,
- with a family history of cancer, to determine potential hereditary risk factors,
- with specific indications or symptoms that suggest a genetic mutation may be present, or
- undergoing targeted therapy or considering enrollment in clinical trials for new cancer treatments.
Abnormal results from the Cancer Hotspot Panel may indicate the presence of specific genetic mutations associated with cancer.
The Cancer Hotspot Panel requires a tissue sample from a tumour, which is typically obtained during a biopsy or surgery. The sample is then sent to the laboratory for analysis through a next-generation sequencing (NGS) method.
- Share relevant clinical history and any previous histopathology reports with your healthcare provider.
- Follow any specific instructions given by your doctor regarding fasting or medication restrictions before the procedure.
- Inform your doctor if you have any specific requirements.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC) tests to analyse protein expression patterns in tumour cells.
- Molecular profiling tests to identify additional genetic mutations associated with specific types of cancer.
Genetic Mutation Panel or Oncogene Mutation Panel
Cancer is a complex disease that occurs when abnormal cells in the body divide and grow out of control. These abnormal cells can invade nearby tissues and can also spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream and lymphatic system. There are many different types of cancer, each with its own unique characteristics and treatments.
