Frequently Asked Questions

What is the MI Tumor Seek Test?
The MI Tumor Seek Test is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to analyze genetic material from an FFPE tissue block for cancer detection and profiling.
How much does the MI Tumor Seek Test cost?
The cost of the MI Tumor Seek Test in India is INR 468,000, with free home sample collection available for online bookings.
What sample is required for the test?
A formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue block with more than 20% tumor tissue and minimum surface area of 25 mm² is required, along with Form 47 and histopathology report.
How accurate is the MI Tumor Seek Test?
The test is highly accurate due to advanced NGS technology and machine learning algorithms, providing reliable genetic insights for cancer diagnosis.
Can the test detect all types of cancer?
The test analyzes 592 genes and whole transcriptome, making it applicable for various solid tumors, but specific detection depends on the tissue sample.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, free home sample collection is available for online bookings across numerous cities in India for the MI Tumor Seek Test.
What is the turnaround time for results?
Results are typically delivered within 30 working days after sample receipt.
Do I need to fast before the test?
No, fasting is not required, but proper sample preparation as per guidelines is essential.
What are the prerequisites for the test?
Submit an FFPE tissue block with >20% tumor tissue, surface area ?25 mm², Form 47, and histopathology report.
How is the test different from a biopsy?
It is a non-invasive molecular test that provides comprehensive genomic profiling from tissue blocks, whereas traditional biopsies involve invasive tissue sampling.
Is the test covered by insurance?
Insurance coverage varies; it is generally not covered by government schemes like PMJAY or CGHS, but check with private insurers for options.
What should I do if my test results are abnormal?
Consult your oncologist immediately to discuss the results and determine the appropriate personalized treatment plan.
