Consult your oncologist if any genetic mutations are detected, if PDL-1 levels indicate immunotherapy eligibility, or if symptoms persist for further treatment planning.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all genetic mutations due to technological limits
- ⚠False positives or negatives are possible and should be interpreted clinically
- ⚠Results must be correlated with clinical history and other diagnostic findings
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk associated with biopsy procedure, such as infection or bleeding at the site
- ●No direct risks from the laboratory test itself
Interfering Factors
