Getting tested with miRview™ mets
How the test works
miRview™ mets is different from other tests. miRview™ mets is more accurate because it uses highly sensitive, cutting-edge technology that measures tiny amounts of material in your tumor sample. The material measured is called microRNA.
The microRNA measurements tell your doctor where in your body the cancer started. These measurements are very accurate. miRview™ mets has been shown to identify the origin of cancer with 90% sensitivity and 99% specificity.

How to get the test
miRview™ mets requires a small sample of your tumor tissue. In most cases, a new biopsy is not needed. If you have already had a biopsy or surgery, your doctor probably already has the sample he or she needs.
Once your doctor has the sample, he or she will send it to Rosetta Genomics. Your doctor should receive your test results from Rosetta Genomics within 10 business days.
The best way to be sure your doctor is using miRview™ mets is to ask. Find out which test(s) he or she plans to use to diagnose your cancer. If your doctor is not familiar with miRview™ mets, click on the button at the top of the page to print out information to bring to your next appointment.
