? What Is The NGS Colorectal Cancer Panel?
The NGS Colorectal Cancer Panel is a highly advanced genetic test that screens for mutations in genes associated with colon and rectal cancers. It uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) to detect inherited and acquired mutations, helping with early detection, risk assessment, and personalized cancer treatment.

? Why Do People In Dubai Choose This Test?

✔️ Detect hereditary colorectal cancer syndromes like Lynch Syndrome
✔️ Guide personalized therapy and drug selection
✔️ Identify risk in those with family history of colon or rectal cancer
✔️ Support decisions in targeted treatments and immunotherapy
✔️ Available in top diagnostic centers and hospitals in Dubai

? Methodology Of The Test

1. Sample Collection:
   A blood sample or tumor tissue (if already diagnosed) is collected from the patient.

2. DNA Extraction & NGS:
   The DNA is extracted and analyzed using next-generation sequencing, examining multiple genes such as APC, KRAS, NRAS, BRAF, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, and others.

3. Bioinformatics Analysis:
   Advanced algorithms interpret genetic data to detect mutations, deletions, insertions, and gene fusions.

4. Clinical Report:
   A detailed genetic report is generated, reviewed by oncologists and genetic counselors, and delivered in 10–14 working days.

? When Should You Take This Test?

• If you have a personal or family history of colorectal cancer
• For patients with early-onset colon cancer (before age 50)
• When planning targeted therapy or immunotherapy
• As part of a routine screening for high-risk individuals
• After diagnosis, to understand tumor behavior and treatment options

? Cost Of NGS Colorectal Cancer Panel In Dubai

The price for this test typically ranges between AED 2,000 – AED 5,000, depending on the number of genes analyzed and whether genetic counseling is included.

?‍♀️ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Which genes are tested in this panel?
Key genes include APC, KRAS, NRAS, BRAF, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, and others linked to colorectal cancer.

Q2: Is this a diagnostic test?
It can help both in risk assessment and in identifying mutations in already diagnosed cases to guide treatment.

Q3: Do I need to fast before the test?
No, fasting is not required. It’s a simple blood test or may use tissue samples from a biopsy.

Q4: Will the test help with treatment decisions?
Yes, it supports personalized therapy by identifying mutations that respond to specific drugs or clinical trials.

Q5: Can I take this test without symptoms?
Yes, especially if you have a family history or want a preventive screening for genetic risks.
