Overview
BRAF, RAS, and RET/PTC gene alterations are associated with thyroid cancer. The Thyroid Cancer Mutation Panel is a specialized diagnostic tool designed to analyze mutations in thyroid cancer patients using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples. This panel focuses on specific genetic alterations known to be associated with thyroid cancer, allowing clinicians to accurately identify the molecular characteristics of the tumor. By analyzing FFPE tissue samples, which are commonly used in clinical settings for long-term preservation, this panel provides valuable information for personalized treatment decisions, including targeted therapies and prognostic assessments. The Thyroid Cancer Mutation Panel enables clinicians to gain deeper insights into the genetic makeup of thyroid tumors, facilitating more precise diagnoses and improving patient care in the management of thyroid cancer.

The Thyroid Cancer Mutation Panel detects specific genetic mutations known to be associated with thyroid cancer.
- To aid in the diagnosis of thyroid cancer and its specific subtype
- To guide treatment decisions by identifying specific genetic alterations
- To assess the risk of developing thyroid cancer for individuals with a family history or genetic predisposition
- To monitor the effectiveness of targeted therapy for thyroid cancer patients with specific mutations
Thyroid Cancer Mutation Panel is recommended for
- individuals with nodules or tumours in the thyroid gland,
- patients with a family history of thyroid cancer,
- patients suspected to have a high risk of developing thyroid cancer, and
- current thyroid cancer patients undergoing treatment to guide targeted therapy decisions.
If abnormalities are found, it may indicate
- the presence of thyroid cancer,
- specific subtypes of thyroid cancer, or
- potential eligibility for targeted therapy.
A small sample of tissue from the tumour or nodule is collected during a biopsy or surgical procedure. The sample is sent to the laboratory for analysis using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology.
- Your doctor may ask you to temporarily discontinue certain medications that could interfere with the test results.
- Provide your clinical history and a histopathology report to the laboratory.
- Follow any specific instructions given by your healthcare provider regarding fasting or other requirements.
- Inform your doctor if you have any specific requirements.
- Fine-needle aspiration biopsy: This procedure involves using a thin needle to collect cells from the thyroid nodule for further analysis.
- Thyroglobulin levels: This blood test measures the levels of thyroglobulin, a protein produced by normal and cancerous thyroid cells, to monitor treatment response.
Thyroid Tumour Mutation Analysis or Genetic Testing for Thyroid Cancer
Thyroid cancer is a condition characterised by the abnormal growth and development of cells in the thyroid gland. It can lead to the formation of tumours or nodules in the thyroid. Thyroid cancer is usually diagnosed through imaging tests, biopsies, and genetic testing like the Thyroid Cancer Mutation Panel.
