Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of specific genetic mutations, which can inform tumor classification, prognosis, and treatment options.
📊

Positive for IDH1 mutation

May indicate better prognosis and potential response to specific therapies in gliomas.

📊

Positive for EGFR amplification

Common in glioblastomas; may guide targeted therapy decisions.

📊

Positive for 1p19q codeletion

Associated with oligodendrogliomas and improved response to chemotherapy.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you experience symptoms of CNS tumors, have a family history of cancer, or require guidance on treatment options based on genetic test results.

Risks & Considerations

  • Infection at biopsy site
  • Bleeding or bruising
  • Discomfort or pain during biopsy
