Lung cancer

Comprehensive diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive testing

Mayo Clinic Laboratories innovates at the speed of medical advancement and offers comprehensive options for diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive lung cancer testing. We’ve optimized our specimen requirements to conserve tissue, which makes results available for more patients.

Results interpretation by Mayo Clinic physicians with expertise in pulmonary oncology enables reports that integrate patient information with supporting references. This provides patient-specific context and a better understanding of the treatment path ahead.

Our portfolio of genetic sequencing evaluations includes assessment of mutations and rearrangements in genes most commonly associated with cancer. For patients who’ve relapsed after an initial therapeutic response to EGFR-targeted therapies, we offer cell-free mutation analysis to identify acquired variations in the ETRG gene.
