LOINC Code 101906-6: Noninvasive esophageal cancer DNA and esophageal cell screening Sequencing Ql (Esophagus)

What is this code?

LOINC codes identify tests, measurements, observations, survey items, and clinical questions in a standardized way. It is associated with the component Noninvasive esophageal cancer DNA+esophageal cell screening. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Esophagus.

When is it used?

• Used in lab systems, EHRs, and clinical data exchange.
• May identify a test, observation, survey item, or clinical document request rather than a diagnosis.
• Status: ACTIVE
• Order vs observation: Both
• Method: Sequencing

What it does not mean

• The code identifies the observation or test, not the actual result.

Key facts

• Noninvasive esophageal cancer DNA and esophageal cell screening [Presence] in Esophagus by Sequencing
• Noninvasive esophageal cancer DNA+esophageal cell screening
• This is an screening assay of esophageal cancer by the retrieval of samples obtained using a non-endoscopic swallowable balloon from the distal esophageal mucosa. The test is positive if either VIM and CCNA1 DNA methylation biomarkers are present.
