2 years agoWhat is the test I ask for to determine what best treatment options are? I can’t remember the test.
Accepted Answer
You might be thinking of genomic or biomarker testing, which helps doctors understand the specific characteristics of cancer cells to guide treatment decisions. These tests can provide valuable information about which therapies might work best for your particular situation. It's great that you're being proactive about understanding your options - discussing these testing possibilities with your oncology team will help ensure you get the most personalized care plan for your diagnosis.
