How It Works

How the HelioLiver Test Works

1

Order Test

Your physician orders the HelioLiver LDT for you.

2

Collect Your Sample

A simple blood draw is done during the same office visit.

3

Review Your Results

Your provider reaches out once your results are ready, in 10 to 14 days.

4

Schedule Next Appointment

Doctors recommend routine testing every six months.

Understanding Your Results

What Will My Results Tell Me?

Your provider will share your results with you within 10 to 14 days of taking the test. Results come back as either Normal or Abnormal:

Normal

What it means

Liver cancer was not likely detected in your sample.

Next step

Continue routine testing every six months, as your physician recommends.

Abnormal

What it means

Liver cancer was possibly detected in your sample. This is not a diagnosis.

Next step

Follow your physician's recommendation for follow-up imaging to confirm.

An abnormal result doesn't mean you have liver cancer.

It means your doctor will look more closely with follow-up imaging to be sure. Either way, you'll have clear answers and a plan.
