Necessary Information
Pathology report must accompany specimen for testing to be performed.
Specimen Required
Submit only 1 of the following specimens:
Preferred:
Specimen Type: Tissue, smear stained with Diff Quik, fine needle aspirate (FNA), or pleural fluid in cell blocks
Container/Tube: Tissue block
Collection Instructions: Submit a formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue block.
Acceptable:
Specimen Type: Tissue, smear stained with Diff Quik, FNA, or pleural fluid in cell block or cytology blood smear
Container/Tube: Slides
Specimen Volume: 1 Hematoxylin and eosin stained and 5 unstained
Collection Instructions:
1. For FFPE tissue, FNA or pleural fluid: Submit 1 slide stained with hematoxylin and eosin and 5 unstained, non-baked slides with 5 to 10-micron thick sections of the tumor tissue.
2. For cytology blood smear: Submit up to 2 slides stained with Diff Quik
Useful For
Identifying non-small cell lung cancers that may respond to epidermal growth factor receptor-targeted therapies
