“Today, using anatomic pathology, the differences in appearance of a normal or a malignant lesion can be difficult to tell when just using light microscopy. About 25% of the biopsies that are taken, which is approximately two million per year in the United States, come back as indeterminable and need to be sent out to experts for further study. These biopsies may display characteristics of both benign and malignant lesions. It’s for those indeterminates that we are seeing our testing being of particular use.”
