The Biopsy Test cost in India varies from
₹23,000 to ₹30,000
depending on various parameters from different markers screened to the laboratory tested in India.
What is the DNA liquid Biopsy test?
Liquid biopsy
is a non-invasive and simple alternative method to surgical biopsies which enables the doctors to discover a whole range of information about a tumour through a simple blood sample. The blood of the individual has traces of cancer’s DNA which can provide clues about which treatments are most likely to work for that patient.
A liquid biopsy test can detect epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR ) gene mutations, which occur in 10-35 per cent of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which will help doctors to choose the right treatment for the right patient at the right time.
Most of the liquid biopsies test has been widely used in lung, breast and prostate cancers but this technology is expected to have an impact on all types of cancer.
Why liquid biopsy test, how is it better?
The Liquid Biopsy is a non-invasive, quick and easily repeatable test compared to tissue biopsy. Most cancers have multiple genetic mutations and they may not have the same ones in all parts of cancer. The tissue samples removed for biopsy may not show all mutations whereas liquid biopsies offer an improved chance of detecting these genetic changes.
The test requires only 5 ml of blood, which are much easier to tolerate and the procedure is quicker than a surgical biopsy. The blood sample is then ‘spun down’ to get 2 ml of plasma which can be analysed for tumour DNA.
Types:
There are several types of liquid biopsy methods; method selection depends on the condition that is being studied. Click

- In cancer studies, circulating tumour cells circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) are collected.
- In heart attack diagnosis, circulating endothelial cells (CECs) are sampled.
- prenatal diagnosis cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) is extracted from maternal blood.
- Amniotic fluid can also be extracted and analysed.
A wide variety of biomarkers may be studied to detect or monitor other diseases. For example, isolation of protoporphyrin IX from blood samples can be used as a diagnostic tool for atherosclerosis When studying the central nervous system, cerebrospinal fluid may be sampled instead of blood.
What is Biopsy Test Price in India?
The Biopsy Test price in India depends upon whether it is liquid biopsy or solid biopsy and the type of cancer being tested. Please contact us to get more details
Using Tumor DNA to Detect Cancer Early
Tumours release pieces of DNA into the bloodstream that can be analyzed to obtain important information that may inform patient care. Treating these slow-growing tumours could actually do more harm than good, and the risk of overtreatment is a major concern with early cancer detection
Prospective cohort studies are needed to truly determine if the presence of ctDNA in a patient’s blood can be used as an accurate marker for early-stage cancer, she added. For example, studies are needed to determine if the detection of ctDNA warrants treatment and if that treatment improves patient outcomes.
Tumour DNA May Aid Precision Cancer Treatment
There is also hope that ctDNA-based liquid biopsies may guide precision medicine treatment by identifying unique molecular characteristics of an individual’s cancer. In several research studies, liquid biopsies have pinpointed ctDNA mutations that could potentially be used to determine the optimal treatment.
Other studies have demonstrated the feasibility of using ctDNA-based
liquid biopsies
on a large scale to identify DNA mutations in patients’ cancers. Many other liquid biopsy tests are commercially available but have not been rigorously tested by scientists. Clinicians and researchers are still determining the limitations of these tests and, more importantly, whether they provide clinical benefits to patients.
