The Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) has established a Cancer Genomics Centre, becoming the archetypal authorities assemblage infirmary successful Telangana to connection Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)-based crab diagnostic services. NGS is simply a exertion that analyses changes successful a patient’s DNA and RNA to assistance doctors observe crab earlier, place its precise characteristics and prime much targeted treatments.
The facility, acceptable up nether the Department of Health Research (DHR)-Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) Advanced Molecular Oncology Diagnostic Services (DIAMOnDS) project, volition alteration the detection of cancer-related familial changes with greater accuracy by analysing DNA and RNA.
NIMS manager N. Bheerappa said that astir 25 centres crossed India person been selected nether the DIAMOnDS task and that NIMS is presently the lone centre serving Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka nether the scheme.
The laboratory established nether the task provides respective precocious crab diagnostic tests escaped of outgo to eligible patients. These see Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), Digital Droplet PCR (ddPCR), Fluorescence In Situ Hybridisation (FISH), Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and different molecular diagnostic investigations.
Professor and Head of Pathology Shantveer G. Uppin said that 1,443 crab patients person already benefited from the escaped molecular oncology diagnostic services since 2024. These see 784 lung crab patients and 659 bosom crab patients.
