A 67-year-old male with positive signals for neuroendocrine and head/neck cancer on a commercially available multicancer detection test underwent an extensive negative diagnostic workup at a local hospital. Referred to our medical center for advanced imaging and endoscopic procedures ultimately led to the diagnosis of an early-stage seminoma with eventual orchiectomy. This case highlights challenges in evaluating positive multicancer detection results, emphasizing the need for a broader understanding of how to interpret these testing results to fully evaluate complex cases, as well as the need for protocolized follow-up approaches to a positive multicancer detection test.
一名67岁男性在一项市售的多癌检测试验中显示神经内分泌癌和头颈癌呈阳性信号,随后在当地医院接受了全面的阴性诊断检查。转诊至我们的医疗中心进行高级影像学检查和内镜检查,最终确诊为早期精原细胞瘤并最终进行了睾丸切除术。该病例凸显了评估多癌检测阳性结果时面临的挑战,强调需要更全面地了解如何解读这些检测结果以充分评估复杂病例,以及对多癌检测阳性结果采取规范化随访方法的必要性。
