Synonyms
U500, UCSF500, UCSF 500 Cancer Gene Panel
Collect
Blood or bone marrow in EDTA (lavender top, 3 cc preferred)
Formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue (5-10 unstained slides at 10 µm thickness, or FFPE tissue block)
Buccal swabs
Fresh skin biopsy (1-2 mm punch)
Remarks
UCSF Clinicians — Inpatient and Ambulatory Providers are now able to place orders electronically in APeX. Order panels UC500 Solid Tumor Testing and UC500 Leukemia Testing have been created with detailed instructions on ordering guidelines. APeX will allow you to order TUMOR only, as well as paired TUMOR:NORMAL tests. Blood draws can be ordered through APeX - Peripheral blood draw for CCGL (PBCGL).
Non UCSF Clinicians – use the UCSF500 paper requisition form, contact ccgl@ucsf.edu or 415-502-3252.
For any questions related to the ordering process, please contact ccgl@ucsf.edu or 415-502-3252.
