It can help make sure you get an accurate diagnosis and that your treatment plan is tailored to your particular tumour type. We believe that this type of testing should be available to everyone – so make sure that you ask if it hasn’t been offered. There may be good reason why it isn’t appropriate for you, but your doctor will be able to explain this.
