Understanding Your Results
Positive for markers like TTF1 or P40
Suggests specific NSCLC subtype, e.g., adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma
Positive for ALK or ROS1
Indicates potential for targeted therapy
Negative for all markers
May require further testing or indicate other cancer types
Consult an oncologist immediately if you have symptoms like persistent cough, chest pain, or weight loss, or if results indicate positive markers for targeted therapy.
