What kind of cancer do you have? The Pathwork® Tissue of Origin Test, may have the answer!

A product of Pathwork Diagnostics, The Pathwork® Tissue of Origin Test is designed to increase diagnostic certainty for hard-to-identify tumors.

The Pathwork® Tissue of Origin Test measures the expression of more than 1500 genes present in a tissue sample and generates the tumor’s gene expression profile. This profile is then compared to those of 15 known tissues, representing more than 60 morphologies. An objective, probability-based Similarity Score is provided for each of the 15 potential tissue types, enabling each tissue type to be ruled in or ruled out.

What do patients need to know about The Pathwork® Tissue of Origin Test?

If a patient has hard to identify cancer, the doctor may recommend this test in order to fully determine the best treatment plan for the patient.

The Pathwork Tissue of Origin Test uses advanced technology to compare a molecular “fingerprint” of your tumor to those of 15 common types of cancer. This helps determine what type of tumor you most likely have – even when other tests may not be able to.

I honestly think this is a good test that will tremendously benefit the patient’s survival. If your doctor have not mentioned The Pathwork® Tissue of Origin Test yet, this is a good time as any to bring this up and discuss.

A genomics-based diagnostics company focused on oncology – Pathwork Diagnostics – announced the launch of The Pathwork® Tissue of Origin Test Test through its
CLIA-certified Pathwork® Diagnostics Laboratory.
