Solid Tumor Testing

Understanding Cancer

Cancer occurs when the body’s cells grow uncontrollably, often leading to tumors. Unlike normal cell division, cancer cells lose the control mechanisms, forming tumors that can be:

  • Benign: Non-cancerous and generally non-invasive.
  • Malignant: Cancerous, with the potential to spread to other organs.

Cancer in India: A Health Priority

Cancer affects millions in India, and statistics highlight the pressing need for early detection and intervention:

  • New Cases: Over 1.46 million each year.
  • Lifetime Risk: 1 in 9 Indians will develop cancer.
  • Most Common Cancers:
    • Men: Lung cancer
    • Women: Breast cancer
    • Children: Lymphoid leukemia
  • Future Outlook: Cases projected to rise by 12.8% by 2025.

What Are Solid Tumors?

Solid tumors are abnormal tissue masses that typically lack liquid or cystic components. These tumors may be:

  • Carcinomas: Originate from epithelial cells (e.g., lung, breast, colon).
  • Sarcomas: Originate from connective tissues (e.g., bone, muscle).
  • Lymphomas: Originate from the lymphatic system.

Note: Leukemia, a blood cancer, does not form solid tumors.

Advanced Cancer Tests Services at Jaipur Molecular Lab (JML)

At JML, we provide state-of-the-art molecular and genetic testing for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning:

  1. Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS): Identifies mutations in genes linked to hereditary and solid tumors, such as BRCA1/2, HRR, and HRD mutations.
  2. Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH): Detects chromosomal abnormalities, including:
    • HER2 amplification (breast cancer)
    • 1p/19q co-deletion (brain tumors)
    • EWSR1 rearrangement (Ewing sarcoma)
  3. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR): A sensitive test for specific genetic abnormalities for cancers like breast and lung.
