The kit is used in the examination of patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to determine indications for targeted therapy with the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors and monitor the response to them. The liquid biopsy method allows for continuous monitoring of the patient's condition and making prompt changes to the treatment program.
• Detection of 29 mutations in the EGFR gene & can be used when adequate tumor material is not available.
The kit is used in the examination of patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer stage IB–IIIA and IV of the disease to determine indications for targeted therapy with the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors and monitor response to them.
• Detection of 48 mutations in the EGFR gene.
• The risk of contamination is reduced due to the inclusion of uracil-DNA-glycosylase (UDG) and 2'-deoxyuridine-5'-triphosphate (dUTP) in the reaction mix.
✅The kit is compatible with almost all RT-PCR devices.
