c-kit AML near me in Guntur

PCR testing for KIT mutations provides diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive information for systemic mastocytosis (SM), gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), melanoma, and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Usually, the presence of a KIT mutation in exon 11 is associated with a more favorable prognosis and a greater likelihood of response to Imatinib therapy in patients with advanced GIST. The presence of a KIT mutation in exon 9 predicts a less likelihood of response and an increased dose should be considered.
