Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
PCR is a method of molecular genetic diagnostics, which is widely used in clinical practice due to its accuracy, reliability, simplicity and high speed ofanalysis.
In modern days oncology, PCR is the main diagnostic method, including for the purpose of choosing tactics for treating malignant tumors, for the use of targeted drugs and evaluating the effectiveness of therapy. Identification of hereditary forms of cancer is especially important for determining the risk of developing diseases and possible prevention.
PCR is one of the most accurate and sensitive methods for diagnosing infectious diseases due to its main advantages:
- High specificity.
Identification of a specific region of the pathogen DNA eliminates the possibility of obtaining false results. PCR can be used for genotyping.
- High sensitivity
Even single cells of the pathogen are detected, which makes it possible to detect the causative agent of the disease even before the first symptoms of the disease appear, and in cases where it is impossible to do this by other methods (immunological, bacteriological, microscopic).
- Versatility
Most types of biomaterial are suitable for analysis. It is possible to diagnose several pathogens from one bioassay.
- Diagnosis of not only acute, but also latent infections.
- High speed of obtaining the result of the analysis.
