Frequently Asked Questions
What does this test measure?
This test measures the presence of ALK gene fusions in tumor tissue, which can indicate specific types of cancer. Detecting these fusions helps in tailoring targeted therapies for effective treatment.
Who should take this test?
Patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer or those with specific symptoms suggesting ALK involvement should consider this test. It is particularly relevant for guiding treatment decisions.
How do I prepare for this test?
Preparation for this test involves submitting a Formalin fixed paraffin embedded Tissue Block that contains at least 10% tumor tissue. The specimen should be shipped at room temperature, and a genomic TRF, informed consent, and clinical history are required.
What do the results mean?
Results indicating the presence of ALK fusions suggest a specific cancer type and can influence treatment options. Abnormal results may indicate the need for targeted therapies.
How long until I get my results?
Results are typically available within 10 to 12 days after the specimen is received. You will be notified of the results through your healthcare provider.
