High result

A high test result may indicate the presence of HCC. When a positive result is reported, additional clinical assessment to confirm the presence of HCC is suggested (e.g., diagnostic imaging procedures).

Negative result

A negative test result indicates a lower likelihood of the presence of HCC. When a negative result is obtained, a 3- to 6-month surveillance cadence is suggested.

In rare instances, a technical failure or insufficient clinical material in the sample yields an invalid result.

False positive and false negative results are possible with the Oncoguard® Liver test. In the clinical lab validation study, the false positive rate was 13% and the false negative rate was 12%.1

The Oncoguard® Liver test is a simple, yet sophisticated blood test that delivers actionable information with a single assessment.
