In 2016, it introduced the routine use of a 22-gene genetic test for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnaclinic.com\/en\/cancer-diagnosis\/diagnosis-lung-cancer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>diagnosis of lung<\/strong><\/a><strong>, colon and rectal<\/strong>cancer and melanoma. This new test analyses 52 genes for which there is a specific approved treatment or that will open the doors to participation in a clinical trial.<\/p>\n<h2>IMPROVES CUSTOMISED CANCER TREATMENT<\/h2>\n<p>This <strong>new molecular test <\/strong>detects all currently treatable genetic abnormalities, but also those that may be treatable in the future. Expanding the panel of analysed genes ensures the detection of even more genetic abnormalities with potential, known or future treatment.
