Molecular Cancer Diagnostics Our state of the art laboratory features Bangladesh's first Molecular Cancer Diagnostics (PCR) laboratory. Globally, cancer now causes more deaths than HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined.

Colorectal Cancer Real-time PCR assay to detect seven mutations in the KRAS gene KRAS Seven Mutations Detection profile is a sensitive and selective assay for the detection of the most common somatic mutations in the KRAS gene. This test amplifies exon 2 of K-RAS gene associated with colorectal cancer and its precursor lesions. Mutations in KRAS codons 12 and 13 have been associated with lack of response to EGFR-targeted therapies in CRC Patients (>93%). Absence of mutation predicts greater sensitivity to EGFR-targeted therapies and improved survival.
