Short Description

ROS1 is a receptor tyrosine kinase with structural similarity to Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) protein. In patients with Non Small Cell Lung cancer (NSCLC), ROS1 expression is found in approximately 2% of these patients who tend to be younger with a median age of 49 years, no history of smoking & with a diagnosis of Adenocarcinoma. Detection of ROS1 in lung cancer is important for optimal treatment as it can be efficiently inhibited by tyrosine kinase inhibitor Crizotinib.

Detail Description

Immunohistochemistry ROS1 IHC Test Cost, Symptoms, and Diagnosis

Immunohistochemistry ROS1 IHC is a test used to detect rearrangements in the ROS1 gene, which is associated with non-small cell lung cancer. This test is performed on a tissue sample from a patient's lung or other affected area. At DNA Labs India, we provide this test at a cost of INR 6000, with accurate and reliable results guaranteed.

Symptoms of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The symptoms of non-small cell lung cancer can vary from person to person, and may include:

• Chest pain
• Coughing up blood
• Cough that won't go away
• Fatigue
• Shortness of breath
• Wheezing

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to see a doctor as soon as possible for diagnosis and treatment.

Diagnosis of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer may involve:

• Physical exam
• Chest X-ray
• Computed tomography (CT) scan
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan
• Positron emission tomography (PET) scan
• Biopsy

The Immunohistochemistry ROS1 IHC test can be performed on a tissue sample obtained through biopsy to determine if there is a ROS1 gene rearrangement present.
