Percepta is a genomic test that analyzes gene expression in lung cells collected during bronchoscopy to help diagnose lung cancer. When bronchoscopy results are inconclusive, Percepta can identify patients at low risk of cancer who may avoid invasive follow-up procedures. It has been validated in multiple studies of over 1,000 patients and is covered by Medicare. Percepta provides clinically actionable results and fits into current diagnostic workflows for evaluating patients with suspected lung cancer.
