MAX@Home brings advanced genomic tests that help doctors understand the biology of colon cancer and assess the risk of cancer recurrence, especially in early-stage colon cancer. With Oncotype DX Colon Cancer testing in Thane, patients can access diagnostic services with greater comfort.
This test checks for the activity of specific genes in a tumor sample obtained during colon cancer surgery or biopsy. It helps predict the risk of cancer recurrence and provides insight into whether a patient may benefit from chemotherapy in addition to surgery, supporting more personalised treatment decisions.
This test ensures the patient receives the most appropriate and effective treatment plan.
Doctor’s Consultation: Your oncologist first confirms if the Oncotype DX Colon Cancer test is appropriate for your case and places the test order through an authorised provider such as MAX@Home.
Tissue Collection: The tumor tissue preserved in FFPE (Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded) blocks at the hospital or pathology lab is identified and prepared for testing.
Shipping of specimen: The sample is safely packaged and sent to a specialised genomic laboratory for detailed analysis.
Lab Analysis and Results: The lab analyses specific gene expression and generates a recurrence score report, which is usually shared with your oncologist within a few weeks.
Next Steps: Your oncologist reviews the report, explains the results, and finalizes the treatment plan, as per the individual report and overall clinical condition.
Experienced healthcare professionals provide support throughout the test process, ensuring accuracy and clarity at every stage.
All tissue samples and medical information are handled in accordance with strict hygiene, safety, and medical protocols.
