The AR-V7 Nucleus Detect® test only requires a simple blood draw at your doctor’s office or nearby lab. About 2 weeks after Exact Sciences* receives your blood draw, your results will be available to your doctor.
The results will say your tumor is either AR-V7 positive (AR-V7+) or AR-V7 negative (AR-V7-). An AR-V7+ result means your tumor will not respond to AR-targeted therapies and you should consider other treatments instead.
