What is the maximum days the report can be obtained for the test

The maximum days for obtaining the report for the C-KIT Mutation Test is 14 days.

What are the prerequisites for the test C-KIT Mutation Test

  • Patients must have a formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue block or at least 15 unstained slides from the primary tumor or metastatic site
  • A signed informed consent form must be obtained from the patient
  • Patients must have a confirmed diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) or other relevant cancer types
  • Patients must not have received any treatment that could potentially affect the test results

What are the measure values for the test C-KIT Mutation Test

  • Positive: Presence of mutations in the C-KIT gene
  • Negative: Absence of mutations in the C-KIT gene
  • Not Detected: Inconclusive result, mutations in the C-KIT gene could not be detected

What does this test C-KIT Mutation Test identify?

The C-KIT Mutation Test identifies mutations in the C-KIT gene, which encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase that plays a critical role in cell growth and division. Mutations in this gene can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and contribute to the development of certain types of cancer, such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). The test helps to guide treatment decisions and determine the prognosis for patients with C-KIT-mutated cancers.

Why is this test C-KIT Mutation Test taken?

Reasons for C-KIT Mutation Test

The C-KIT mutation test is taken to identify mutations in the C-KIT gene. This gene provides instructions for making a protein called KIT, which plays a crucial role in the growth and division of cells. Mutations in the C-KIT gene can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and division, potentially resulting in the development of certain types of cancer.

Specifically, the C-KIT mutation test is often performed in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) or certain types of leukemia. Identifying mutations in the C-KIT gene can help healthcare providers determine the most effective treatment plan for these patients, such as targeted therapies that specifically target the mutated protein.

Overall, the C-KIT mutation test is important for personalized medicine, as it helps guide treatment decisions and improve outcomes for patients with C-KIT mutations.
