Gene Probe Study On A Tissue Sample

Nationwide rates for HCPCS 88368

A laboratory study on a tissue sample in which a marker is attached to a specific stretch of DNA, and the cells are then examined and counted to see whether a gene is present in extra copies or has been rearranged. The marker may glow under a special microscope or show as a color visible under an ordinary one. Findings of this kind guide treatment choices in cancers such as breast cancer; this covers the first probe used, and any further probes examined on the sample are charged in addition.
