Summary
This is a Proprietary Laboratory Analyses (PLA) code, meaning that the code applies to only one unique lab test made by a specific manufacturer or performed by a specific lab. Report 0470U only for HPV–SEQ Test from Sysmex Inostics Inc. In this oncology test for oropharyngeal cancer, the focus is on detecting minimal residual disease through next–generation sequencing (NGS). The test quantitatively evaluates eight specific DNA targets in cell–free human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18 DNA extracted from a patient’s plasma. This highly sensitive technique helps in assessing the presence of very small amounts of cancerous cells remaining after treatment.
