tissue testing
I have a question about testing tissue removed from a person's body during cancer surgery.
It seems I read about it somewhere and stored it in the sub consconcious of my brain computer, but I have not be able to bring it up.
What is the name of the test?
It is done in a lab and is a full panel test. it is not oncotype dx, topo 2A. It can test for more than her 2, so it is not a fish test or a test to determine estrogen or progesterone positive. I wonder if it is a kind of gene expression profiling test? It can be done for new patients and patients with metastatic disease.
They take several pieces of cancerous tissue and add different kinds of chemotherapies and cancer medicines to each piece of tissue to see which cancer medicine or which chemotherapy will work the best.
Does anybody know what the name of this test is or which lab can do this test?
Thanks in advance for your help.
