Collection Conditions / Other Information:Assay demonstrates significant positive interference (falsely elevated results) in patients undergoing Fulvestrant or Mifepristone treatment.
Samples from patients administered medications which inhibit tumour cell proliferation (e.g. CDK 4/6 inhibitors), or from patients taking aromatase inhibitors may also interfere or cross-react with the assay.
