Understanding Your Results
Positive for pathogenic variants
Genetic mutations associated with cancer detected; consult oncologist for treatment planning.
Negative for pathogenic variants
No actionable mutations detected; consider other diagnostic methods if cancer is suspected.
Variants of uncertain significance
Genetic changes found but significance unclear; clinical correlation and follow-up recommended.
Consult an oncologist or genetic counselor if results indicate pathogenic variants or if cancer symptoms persist.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all genetic variants
- ⚠Results require clinical correlation
Risks & Considerations
- ●Emotional impact of results
- ●Potential for incidental findings
Interfering Factors
- ●Sample degradation
- ●Insufficient tumor content in FFPE block
