Cancer Panel FAQ

What is a cancer panel?

A Cancer Panel also known as a cancer gene panel or a comprehensive cancer panel, is a type of genetic test that analyzes multiple genes associated with various types of cancer. It is used to identify specific gene mutations or alterations that may increase a person's risk of developing certain types of cancer or affect their response to particular cancer treatments.

A cancer panel typically involves next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, which allows for the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes in a single test. The panel includes genes that are known to be associated with various hereditary cancer syndromes or have been linked to increased cancer susceptibility.

The specific genes included in a cancer panel can vary depending on the laboratory or healthcare provider conducting the test. However, common genes analyzed in cancer panels may include well-known cancer-related genes such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 (associated with breast and ovarian cancer), TP53 (associated with multiple cancer types), and many others.

By analyzing these genes, a cancer panel can provide valuable information about a person's genetic predisposition to certain types of cancer. It can help identify individuals who may have an increased risk of developing cancer, allowing for early detection, surveillance, and personalized management strategies.

Cancer panels can be used in different clinical scenarios, including:

Hereditary cancer risk assessment: The test can identify genetic mutations that increase the risk of developing certain types of cancer. This information can guide medical management decisions, such as increased screening or preventive measures. Molecular profiling of tumors: Cancer panels can also be used to analyze the genetic makeup of a tumor to identify specific gene mutations or alterations that may guide targeted treatment options. This approach is known as precision medicine or personalized oncology.
