Eligibility Requirements FOR ORDERING THE PARIS® TEST:
Cure First requires ideally 1 week advanced notice (minimum 48 hours) prior to your procedure date. This allows time for you/your provider to receive our sample collection kit, fill out all required forms, and receive instructions for best sample quality. It also allows time for discussions with your oncologists and care team.
The PARIS® test requires a three-week washout period from any therapy (exceptions can be made on a case-by-case basis).
The PARIS® test requires fresh, live tissue (not fixed or frozen) obtained via biopsy or surgical excision OR fresh liquid collections (such as ascites or pleural effusion) .
Procedures should be scheduled from Monday through Thursday only, so they can be received during normal lab operating hours.
The PARIS® Test Cannot be Performed on:
Fine Needle Aspirate biopsies
Bone biopsies
Old/Frozen/Fixed samples (must be fresh)
Insufficient size (require a minimum of 4 core biopsies, 1 cm3 of tissue, or 250ml of fluids)
