Q1. Is fasting required before the test?
⌄
No. Fasting is not required before the test. You may maintain your normal diet and daily routine.
Q2. Can Cancer Stem Cell (CSC) testing help guide treatment decisions?
⌄
Yes. Cancer stem cells are closely associated with tumor recurrence, metastasis, and treatment resistance, making them valuable indicators for treatment planning and response evaluation.
Q3. Can this test be used to monitor treatment effectiveness?
⌄
Yes. Regular monitoring of tumor cell and CSC levels can help assess treatment response and disease progression over time.
Q4. Do abnormal results mean the cancer is getting worse?
⌄
Not necessarily. Test results should be interpreted alongside clinical findings, imaging studies, and other laboratory data by a healthcare professional.
Q5. How often should follow-up testing be performed?
⌄
Follow-up testing every 2–3 months is generally recommended to monitor tumor activity, treatment response, and recurrence risk.
Q6. Are there any risks associated with the test?
⌄
The test requires only a blood sample or a small specimen and is considered a low-risk procedure similar to routine blood testing.
