COMPREHENSIVE SOLID TUMOR PANEL NGS

Test Code
LAB662


CPT Codes
0250U and 88387

Includes
Detailed interpretation of the genetic findings will be included in the report. This FDA-cleared assay only detects variants within genes (exons) interrogated in this panel, which includes 505 genes along with TMB, MSI, translocation in ALK, NTRK2, NTRK3 and RET genes and amplifications in ERBB2. This test is NOT appropriate for MRD monitoring.

1 HE slide + 10 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) unbaked slides of 5-micron thickness.
Note: Please make sure the orientation of circled section on HE slide matches with the other 10 FFPE unbaked, 5-micron slides.
Must be > or = 20% tumor
