Sarcoma

Clarification for a challenging diagnosis

With numerous subtypes of sarcoma that have overlapping histological, immunophenotypic, and clinical features, diagnosis can be extremely challenging. This challenge increases when rare subtypes are encountered for which most pathologists will have little experience. Since using only histological and immunophenotypic features can lead to a high rate of inaccurate diagnoses, we recommend supplementing histologic diagnosis with genetic testing to improve diagnostic accuracy and overall patient management.

Our full suite of sarcoma testing, including pathology consultation, can clarify diagnosis and set patients on the best treatment path.
