What is the cost of tumor gene testing?

summary

Currently, 400 to 5 million people in the United States reduce the incidence rate of familial colon cancer by 90% through genetic testing and preventive surgery. The incidence rate of female breast cancer was 70% lower. The results of gene detection can be used as a reference for patients to choose conservative treatment or complete treatment. For example, if the genetic test results of patients with pulmonary nodules are found to be at risk of lung cancer, they can be treated thoroughly. How much is the cost of tumor gene testing?

What is the cost of tumor gene testing?

Specific according to the tumor is a benign tumor or malignant tumor, is growing in what part, so here can not give you an accurate answer, tumor gene testing price is not the same, according to the region you choose, the hospital you choose, the test items you choose are different, so its price is also different. You can go to the local hospital for detailed consultation.

However, the price of gene testing varies from several hundred yuan to tens of thousands yuan according to different testing items and the sequencing platform used. The price of gene testing is mainly determined by the number of genes you have tested. The price of a single system is about 5000 yuan. This is only limited to the popular price collection, which is subject to the local hospital for reference only

For patients: targeted detection of genes, clear tumor genotyping, understanding of gene mutation information, targeted molecular targeted therapy, guiding rational drug use, improving the curative effect and quality of life of patients. In fact, not everyone needs to do a full set of tests. It is generally recommended that patients with family history can only test a certain cancer gene according to the cancer of their relatives. At present, Lianhe medical has launched a single tumor gene detection product for several high-risk cancers. It can be said that it is tailor-made for you to avoid health risks and ensure a better life. It can be selectively carried out according to individual conditions.

matters needing attention

At present, there are mainly two methods of gene detection: liquid biopsy and biopsy of pathological tissue. Detection of blood is one of the ways of liquid biopsy. It needs to extract 4 ml of circulating blood for detection of free tumor DNA fragments. Relatively speaking, this method can detect the initial tumor earlier than PET-CT and other imaging methods, which can shorten the detection time and reduce the detection cost.
