Test Report
Each sample is analytically tested thrice using PCR. Samples with low/borderline levels of methylated Septin-9 may be detected in some but not in all three PCR runs.
According to test manufacturer’s specifications and FDA guidelines, a Positive result is called when at least two PCR runs detect methylated Septin-9, while a Negative result is called when none or one PCR run detects methylated Septin-9:
mSeptin9 PCR Runs | Result Reported |
|---|---|
3 of 3 detected | Positive for methylated septin-9 |
2 of 3 detected | Positive for methylated septin-9 |
1 of 3 detected | Negative for methylated septin-9 |
0 of 3 detected | Negative for methylated septin-9 |
Patients with Negative results should be advised to continue participating in a recommended colorectal cancer screening program according to the screening guidelines by the Health Promotion Board.
A positive result is not confirmatory evidence for colorectal cancer. Methylated Septin-9 is associated with, and may aid in, the detection of colorectal cancer. Patients tested positive should speak to their healthcare provider for follow-up diagnostic colonoscopy for confirmation of the disease.
