Lung Cancer Panel Sequencing

Description of Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is one of the most common solid tumors in the world as well as the leading cause of cancer death. There are still 940,000 former or current smokers sustaining high-risk of lung cancer in the United States. There are two main categories of lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). NSCLC contributes a large proportion (approximately 85%) of lung cancers. Chromosomal changes, tumor suppressor genes, oncogenes, signaling pathway disorders, up-regulation of receptor tyrosine kinases, growth factors and cellular markers, and the persistence of evolutionary pathways are all involved in the molecular pathogenesis of lung cancer.

CD-Genomics provides a predesigned lung cancer panel sequencing for targeted resequencing assay utilizing amplicon sequencing technology by illumina system, which covers a total of 23 hotspot genes associated with lung cancer. More efficient and accurate targeting of specific genes or mutations, and even low-frequency variants below 0.5% allele frequency can be detected. If necessary, you can choose genes that fit your requirements.
