Early-stage NSCLC Panel

  • FISH
  • Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
  • Molecular
The Early-stage NSCLC Panel analyzes 4 relevant and actionable biomarkers through a combination of multi-modality methods: EGFR (PCR), ALK (FISH), ROS1 (FISH), and PD-L1 22C3 (IHC). EGFR alterations are detected using PCR amplification and detection of target DNA using complementary primer pairs and oligonucleotide probes with fluorescent dyes. The EGFR PCR component of this panel has been designed to detect EGFR highly recurrent somatic mutations in exons 18, 19, 20, and 21 of EGFR in eight reactions (Exon 18 G719X; Exon 19 deletions; Exon 20 T790M, C797S, Exon 20-Ins and S768I; Exon 21 L858R, L861Q). Some less common EGFR mutations are not detectable in this test. For a full list of EGFR variants detectable in this assay, please contact NeoGenomics client services. Test may be ordered with an opt out of PD-L1 22C3 (IHC).
