Order Code EGFRS EGFR Gene, Targeted Mutation Analysis, 51 Mutation Panel, Tumor
Necessary Information
Pathology report must accompany specimen for testing to be performed.
Specimen Required
Preferred: Submit 3, if available, or 2 of the following specimens.
Acceptable: Submit at least one of the following specimens.
Specimen Type: Tissue block
Collection Instructions: Submit a formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue block with acceptable amount of tumor tissue.
Specimen Type: Tissue slide
Source: FFPE tissue, cell block (prepared from fine-needle aspirate, or pleural fluid)
Slides: 1 Hematoxylin and eosin-stained and 5 unstained
Collection Instructions:
Submit the followings slides:
1 Slide stained with hematoxylin and eosin
AND
5 Unstained, nonbaked slides with 5-micron thick sections of the tumor tissue.
Specimen Type: Cytology slide (direct smears; smears stained with Pap stain are not acceptable)
Slides: 2 Slides
Collection Instructions: Submit 2 slides stained with Diff Quik and coverslipped with a total of 5000 nucleated cells (preferred) or at least 3000 nucleated cells (minimum).
Note: Glass coverslips are preferred; plastic coverslips are acceptable but will result in longer turnaround times.
Additional Information: Cytology slides will not be returned. An image of the slides will be stored per regulatory requirements.
Useful For
Identifying non-small cell lung cancers that may respond to epidermal growth factor receptor-targeted therapies

Method Description
All ordered specimens will undergo EGFR testing. The EGFR test is a qualitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assay employing fluorescently labeled probes that are used to detect exon 18 (G719A/C/S), exon 21 (L858R, L861Q), exon 20 (T790M, S768I) mutations, exon 19 deletions and exon 20 insertions of the EGFR gene.(Unpublished Mayo method)
