Orderable Test Description
<p>The VENTANA FOLR1 (FOLR1-2.1) RxDx Assay is an FDA-approved qualitative immunohistochemical assay using a mouse monoclonal anti-FOLR1 antibody intended for use in the assessment of Folate Receptor alpha (FRα) protein in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) ovarian cancer tissue on a VENTANA BenchMark ULTRA instrument. FOLR1 is indicated as an aid in identifying patients with ovarian cancer (including epithelial ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer or primary fallopian tube cancer) who may be eligible for targeted therapy treatment.</p>
