Negative result

A negative test result indicates a lower likelihood of liver cancer. If the result is negative, your doctor may have you continue with regular testing.

False positive and false negative results are possible with the Oncoguard® Liver test. In some situations, a problem with the sample or the testing process occurs. In that case you and your doctor will get an “Invalid” result.

Based on the results of the test, you and your doctor will discuss next steps.

The term liver cancer is used to represent the most common form of liver cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
