Paired Tumor Whole Genome Sequencing

Georgia rates for HCPCS 0297U

Searches a cancer's complete genome for the changes driving it, in any type of tumor. Fresh or preserved tumor tissue, blood or a bone-marrow sample is sequenced across the whole genome and compared against the patient's own normal tissue, so that only cancer-specific changes are reported. It uses genome sequencing on its own and accepts the widest choice of sample types in this family of paired tests.
