This test does not include a pathology consult. If a pathology consultation is requested, PATHC / Pathology Consultation should be ordered and the appropriate FISH test will be ordered and performed at an additional charge.
Hematoxylin and eosin stain review of the paraffin-embedded sample is performed to identify the area of invasive tumor prior to DNA extraction and microarray analysis. If additional FISH testing is requested, it will be performed at an additional charge.
If a fresh specimen or specimen in fixative is submitted, ANPAT / Anatomic Pathology Consultation, Wet Tissue will be added by the laboratory, at an additional charge, to facilitate the performance of this test.
