• When certain cells in the lungs mutate abnormally and multiply uncontrollably to form a tumor it causes lung cancer.
• Lung cancer can be classified into two types: Small cell lung cancer & non-small cell lung cancer
• Most people have a long term history of smoking tobacco

Clinical Symptoms

• Chest pain
• Frequent coughing
• Breathing problems
• Blood in mucus
• Loss of appetite
• Weight loss

Genetic Changes

• EGFR & KRAS genes are responsible for cell growth and division
• When EGFR/KRAS gene mutates it constantly promotes cell growth and division leading to lung cancer
• In comparison with other cancer diseases lung cancer has the lowest surviving rate. The disease is usually diagnosed after cancer has progressed. Hereby it is important to diagnose the disease early
• Genes associated with lung cancer are as follows AKT1,ALK,BRAF,DDR2,EGFR,ERBB2,KRAS,MAP2K1,NRAS,PIK3CA,PTEN,RET,RIT1,ROS1

Advantages of Cancer Screening using Genetic Testing

• Individuals can estimate the chance of developing cancer during their lifetime
• Risk prediction of a particular disease
• Forecast can help change lifestyle by implementing preventive measures
• Cancer risks can be mitigated early by regular cancer screening
• Genetic counseling before & after can help in future prognosis

Is cancer hereditary, things you must consider?

• Do you have 3 or more relatives on the same side of the family who have suffered same or related forms of cancer?
• Do you have 2 or more relatives diagnosed with cancer at an early age?
• Do you have a recurring history of 2 or more cancers in the family bloodline?
• If I have a genetic condition, can I lower my risks?

Why Us?

• We provide comprehensive analysis of all 24 chromosomal disorders
• Highly trained & qualified technicians
• We use robust & proven Next generation sequencing (NGS) protocol
• Quality control for every batch
• Guaranteed results & lower chances of false positives

Things to Remember

• Genetic testing helps in making a predictive health forecast
• Many people suffer from depression, anxiety or guilt after the test. We recommend genetic counseling to prevent such emotional implications
• The results only describe the risk for cancer
• It doesnot say that you have cancer
• Regardless of the mutation, only a few people develop cancer.
• Out of 100 people who take cancer screen, there is a significant chance that only 25 might develop cancer
