This may sound like a silly question, Rich, (or maybe not), but how do you know the buccal swab is properly labeled? My experience is that when there's a mix-up in patients' tissue, it often occurs in the doctor's office. A lot of pathology labs are barcoding, but all the tracking in the world can't prevent a mix up at the doctor's office. How are they ensuring that their DNA swabs haven't gotten switched?
Sounds like frivolous spending to me...and where is the line drawn? When are we sending out DNA testing on all specimens, not just prostate biopsies? Good luck! Clare Clare J.

Thank you for being an advocate for good utilization of patient testing. What is behind their concern? Do they think there has been a mistake with patient identification in your lab? Or are they trying to reconcile low PSA or other discordant screening test results with a diagnosis of prostate CA? I would offer to send whatever they need from the lab (paraffin section curls, unstained slides, etc) back to their office, so long as they provide patient consent. The urologist's office can then package that material with the buccal swabs they get from the patient. The onus can be on them to manage the cost of the testing, and they can then try to justify it with the patient when insurance will not reimburse for it. Is this option feasible?

What we do is send out only one site with malignancy (preferably the highest grade) instead of all sites. This cuts down on a lot of unnecessary work to be done by the tech and cuts costs for you. I find it easiest and most cost effective to send them the vial of tissue instead of the slides. I also believe that if you contact a Know Error representative you should be able to develop a contract to ensure reimbursement. Hope this helps!

The test is used to confirm the identity of the patient diagnosed with cancer by matching the DNA in the cancer cells to that obtained from a buccal swab from the patient obtained in the doctor's office. In my opinion, this test is absolutely unnecessary; another expense ($1,700 list price) to our healthcare system that is not justified. In addition, the laboratory ends up doing a lot of work that it cannot get reimbursed for. However, I would like to hear from those of you who have experience with it. Thank you. Richard Richard W.
