Ordering Guidance

This test is not a prenatal screening test.

This test detects only the T790M mutation in the EGFR gene. It does not detect other EGFR gene mutations in exons 18 through 21.

This test provides rapid detection of the EGFR T790M mutation in peripheral blood from non-small cell lung cancer patients as an alternative for EGFR analysis of tissue. For tissue testing, order EGFRS / EGFR Gene, Targeted Mutation Analysis, 51 Mutation Panel, Tumor.
