When analyzing your tissue, our researchers may discover something that might be relevant to you personally. However, tests performed for research purposes do not adhere to the same standards as those used to guide clinical decisions, so the results of research tests should not be used to make decisions about care. As mentioned above, if we find something that could impact your diagnosis or treatment if verified, we will share that information with your treating doctor so that they can decide whether it is significant enough to confirm with further clinical testing.
