Brain Tumor Live Cell Drug Response Test

Arizona rates for HCPCS 0248U

Helps choose drug treatment for a brain tumor by testing the patient's own tumor cells against medicines before treatment begins. Living cells from the tumor are grown in a three-dimensional culture and exposed to 12 different drugs, with a separate response result reported for each one. Tumors that have spread to the brain from elsewhere in the body can also be tested.
