Tumor DNA Instability Test

Georgia rates for HCPCS 81301

This test examines a tumor sample for a pattern of genetic instability that occurs when the cells lose the ability to properly repair small errors in their DNA. Finding this pattern can point to an inherited cancer risk syndrome and can also help guide certain treatment decisions, including whether a specific type of cancer treatment is likely to work well. Tumor tissue is often compared against normal tissue from the same person for an accurate result.
