Test Parameters & Specifications
Understanding Your Results
Positive BCL-2 Expression
May indicate poor prognosis in certain cancers, as BCL-2 overexpression can promote cell survival and resistance to treatment.
Negative BCL-2 Expression
Suggests normal regulation of apoptosis, which may be associated with better treatment outcomes in some cases.
Consult your oncologist or pathologist to interpret results in the context of your overall health, symptoms, and treatment plan.
