Highlighting the revolutionary advancements in medical technology, it’s vital to discuss how these innovations are reshaping the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumours. Alpine Plus Diagnostics, the first private diagnostic facility in Uttar Pradesh to offer Next-Generation Genome Sequencing (NGS), is at the forefront of this transformation. NGS is redefining neuro-oncology, providing precision and hope to countless patients.
Understanding the Power of NGS in Brain Tumour Diagnostics: NGS vs. Traditional Methods
Brain tumours are notoriously difficult to diagnose due to their genetic complexity. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as Sanger sequencing and PCR (polymerase chain reaction), often fall short in identifying the myriad genetic mutations associated with brain tumours. These methods can be time-consuming and limited in scope, often missing critical genetic alterations. In contrast, NGS addresses this challenge by offering a comprehensive genetic profile of the tumour. It can sequence millions of DNA strands simultaneously, offering a detailed map of genetic mutations and alterations. This includes detecting single nucleotide variants, small insertions/deletions, copy number variations, and chromosomal rearrangements, enabling precise diagnosis and tailored treatment strategies.
Impact of NGS: Saving Lives with Precision
NGS is a life-saving technology that can predict how a tumour will respond to certain therapies by identifying specific genetic alterations. This precision is invaluable, especially in India, where access to advanced treatment options can be limited. With NGS, oncologists can make informed decisions about the most effective treatments, potentially improving patient outcomes and quality of life. Patients with previously undiagnosable tumours have found clarity and hope through NGS, transforming terminal diagnoses into manageable conditions.
