What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you or your care team are trying to understand the genetic makeup of a solid tumor. It looks for specific gene changes called NTRK fusions that can affect which treatments might work best. It's typically used as part of a broader cancer management plan rather than a routine screening test.

What's included in this test?

This test looks specifically at three related genes to catch any of several ways this genetic change can occur in a tumor. Testing all three matters because each one can be involved in different cancer types, so covering all three gives a more complete picture. Finding one of these changes can open the door to targeted treatment options that specifically address this abnormality.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will be available in your account, with an explanation of what a positive or negative finding means. If a gene fusion is detected, the report explains why this matters for available FDA-approved therapies and clinical trial options. The standard lab report can be downloaded directly from your account for your records. You can also revisit your results anytime and track them alongside other testing through the trends feature.

How can I naturally support my overall health during cancer treatment?

While no lifestyle change can replace targeted cancer therapy, eating a balanced diet with plenty of protein can help your body handle treatment better. Gentle physical activity, when approved for your situation, can help maintain energy and muscle strength. Prioritizing sleep and stress management also supports your immune system during this time. These steps work alongside medical treatment, not as a replacement for it.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your sample being processed at the lab. Because this is a specialized genetic test, it takes longer than routine blood work to complete. You'll receive a notification as soon as your results are ready to view in your account.

Who should consider this test?

This test is generally considered for people who have already been diagnosed with certain solid tumors and want to explore whether targeted therapy options apply to their specific cancer. It's most relevant when standard treatments haven't worked well or when exploring clinical trial eligibility. This is a specialized test, so it's usually pursued as part of an ongoing cancer management plan rather than general screening.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

This isn't a symptom-based test — it's used after a solid tumor diagnosis to understand the tumor's genetic profile. There aren't specific symptoms that point to needing this test on their own. Instead, it's typically recommended based on tumor type and treatment planning needs.

What is an NTRK gene fusion and why does it matter?

An NTRK gene fusion happens when part of one of these genes joins abnormally with another gene, creating a signal that can drive cancer cell growth. It matters because this specific genetic change has FDA-approved targeted therapies designed to block it. Finding this fusion can mean access to treatments and clinical trials that specifically target this abnormality, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

What does a positive result mean?

A positive result means one of the three genes tested shows a fusion pattern linked to abnormal cell signaling. This finding can open access to FDA-approved targeted therapies designed specifically for tumors with this change. It also may make you eligible for clinical trials studying new treatments for this genetic profile.

What should I do if my results show a gene fusion?

If your results show a fusion, the report will explain what this means and why it's clinically significant. This is an important finding to bring into your ongoing cancer treatment planning, since it may open up targeted therapy or clinical trial options. Keep a downloaded copy of your report handy for reference during treatment discussions.
