Each objective is a clinical-laboratory application skill, not disease biology or treatment advice.

  • Frame ordered oncology molecular testing using clinical question, specimen, target, method, controls, result categories, and limitations

  • State why detecting a molecular oncology target does not by itself equal clinical significance or therapy decisions from training content
