Understand the pathway
Review the general stages, preparation and recovery points that may need confirmation.

Molecular profiling and biomarkers
Tests may identify a therapeutic target or provide prognostic information. Not every test helps every cancer. A tumour result suggesting inherited susceptibility may lead to a separate cancer genetics consultation. Access to a medicine or trial is not automatic. NCI

Points to discuss
Use these prompts to prepare your consultation. Only a qualified professional can assess an individual situation.
Expected course and limits
The analysis itself causes no symptoms. Waiting and uncertainty may require support.
Preparation
Points to clarify with the care team before the procedure.
Prescribed medicines
A laboratory result alone does not trigger medication: treatment relevance must be discussed with the team for the cancer involved.
Food and fluids
This pathway alone does not require dietary restrictions. Adapt intake to health needs and report unexplained weight loss.
Procedure Pathway
General orientation to confirm for the proposed technique.
Care setting and discharge
Analysis of existing tissue or a new sample; only any new sampling imposes specific physical aftercare.
Wounds and devices
No device is required for laboratory analysis; use biopsy or blood-sampling aftercare if a new sample is collected.
Recovery
Planning follow-up and a safe return to daily activities.
Mobility and rehabilitation
Maintain activity compatible with health. Report new limitations rather than waiting for the next review.
Hygiene and activity
Analysis alone causes no restrictions. Follow sampling precautions if a biopsy or blood draw was needed.
Follow-up and results
Have actionable, negative or uncertain results explained; a tumour finding is not a confirmed inherited predisposition.

Risks and Considerations
Procedure-specific risks and warning signs to request in writing.
Warning signs
