What is Immunohistochemistry: Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR)?
Immunohistochemistry: Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) is a molecular (PCR / gene-sequencing) test used in lung cancer. Molecular tests detect or measure specific gene mutations and fusion genes with high sensitivity — useful at diagnosis, for choosing treatment and for tracking response over time. Method: IHC. Typical turnaround: 6 working days.
Why is Immunohistochemistry: Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) done?
- Molecular tests detect or measure specific gene mutations and fusion genes with high sensitivity — useful at diagnosis, for choosing treatment and for tracking response over time.
- Biomarkers such as EGFR, ALK, ROS1, BRAF V600E, MET and PD-L1 decide whether a lung cancer can be treated with a targeted drug or immunotherapy.
- Testing at diagnosis (and again if treatment stops working) lets doctors pick the most effective drug.
Who may be advised to take Immunohistochemistry: Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR)?
- Patients with non-small-cell lung cancer, especially adenocarcinoma, as advised by their oncologist.
