Have you had the Clono-SEQ test to identify the dominant sequence in your tumor?
The search results don't specifically mention the Clono-SEQ test by name. However, several advanced molecular and genetic tests are used in lymphoma diagnosis and monitoring that work similarly.
Tests that identify specific genetic markers in lymphoma include:
- Immunophenotyping: Identifies specific proteins and cell markers in blood and lymph node samples to determine lymphoma subtypes
- Chromosome tests: Check DNA for specific genetic mutations to identify lymphoma subtypes
- Next-generation sequencing (NGS): Detects genetic mutations and provides detailed information for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment selection
NGS can be performed on liquid biopsies (blood samples) as a minimally invasive way to diagnose lymphomas and monitor treatment response.
These molecular techniques help doctors identify the unique characteristics of your lymphoma cells, which sounds similar to what you're describing with the Clono-SEQ test.
If you're considering this test or have questions about it, discussing it with your oncologist would help clarify how it fits into your specific monitoring plan.
