That's a really specific and important question — navigating testing costs across countries is genuinely tricky. Unfortunately, specific pricing for ctDNA tests like Natera's Signatera or MinervaI for UK residents, or whether US insurance covers UK residents, falls outside what can be reliably answered here. Those questions are best directed to the test providers directly and your insurance company.
What can be shared is some helpful context about your situation: You completed 6 cycles of Pola-R-CHP, which is an FDA-approved first-line treatment for advanced DLBCL. It combines:
- Polatuzumab vedotin (Polivy)
- Rituximab
- Cyclophosphamide
- Doxorubicin
- Prednisone
This regimen has shown lower risks of relapse and disease worsening compared to R-CHOP, which is encouraging. For monitoring recurrence after bulky mediastinal DLBCL, doctors typically use PET and CT scans. Your oncologist is the best person to guide which surveillance approach — including whether ctDNA testing is appropriate and accessible for you in the UK through the NHS or private providers.
Other MyLymphomaTeam members navigating similar post-treatment monitoring questions have found their specialist lymphoma teams most helpful for local testing options.
