Clinical Significance | As a test that analyzes genetic alteration of circulating tumor nucleic acid from a blood sample, it can help determine the treatment policy for malignant tumors. It can be applied to various malignant tumors such as stomach cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and prostate cancer. It can detect SNV, small indel, copy number variant, and gene rearrangement, and the detection limit of SNV and small indel mutations depends on the amount of DNA in the extracted sample. |
Remark | Require to using Streak cell-free DNA tube for testing (cannot be performed with other tube & containers) |
