Sarcoma specialist at MDA.

Good—you're at MD Anderson with a sarcoma specialist. That's the right place for LMS.

Here's what matters for BostonGene testing with your situation:

From the webinar with Michael Hensley, here's what you need to know:

How it works:

• Your doctor orders it like any other test through a requisition form
• They need your pathology report, progress notes, and a blood or saliva sample for normal DNA
• Results come back in 10-12 calendar days
• They do DNA and RNA sequencing plus immune profiling (showing if your tumor is "immune hot" or "immune cold")

What it tells you:

• Whether immunotherapy might work for you
• Biomarkers that match to specific treatments
• How your tumor microenvironment looks
• Clinical trial matches customized to MD Anderson trials

Cost/Access:

• At MD Anderson, over 90% of patients qualify for 100% financial assistance—they don't pass denied costs to patients
• They have a robust financial assistance program based on household income

The real question for your sarcoma specialist: Ask directly: "Would a BostonGene Tumor Portrait help us understand why these new nodules are appearing on Votrient, and would it change what we do next?"

Your doctor knows LMS better than anyone. They'll know if this test adds useful information for your specific situation.
