The phrase "adjunct testing" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to education, research, or software development where additional or supplementary testing is being discussed.
Example: "The study included adjunct testing to evaluate the effectiveness of the new teaching methods."
Alternatives: "supplementary testing" or "additional testing".
The baseline phase of the Onclarity trial was conducted to determine the screening performance of the Onclarity human papillomavirus (HPV) assay for detecting cervical cancer and precancer (≥CIN2) during triage of women ≥21 years with ASC-US cytology, as an adjunct test in women ≥30 years with normal cytology and for primary screening (HPV alone) in women ≥25 years.
Though PCR testing of ocular fluid is an invasive procedure, its role in identifying the infectious etiology in uveitis disorders is remarkable, hence should be considered as an adjunct test in any suspected infectious uveitis.
As an adjunct test the improved protocol of the Photo-red blood cell (RBC) test can be performed as a more mechanistically oriented test system [3].
Adjunct tests are part of breast cancer surveillance management and the performance of diagnostic tests used for this purpose is relevant to our population of interest.
The proliferation index by immunostaining (Ki67/MIB-1) in the upper third of the epithelium is considered as an adjunct test to confirm the diagnosis of CA, especially in lesions without evident koilocytic changes.
The pathological diagnosis in FCDIIb is usually uncontroversial with standard histological stains [ 35]. pS6 labelling of BC with immunohistochemistry may be employed as an adjunct test, highlighting these abnormal cell populations [ 3, 6, 11].
It is currently estimated that genetic testing can detect 65% of patients with PCD, 17 and genetic testing is increasingly used as an adjunct test, particularly for difficult-to-diagnose cases with undetermined TEM or CBF studies and/or unusual clinical characteristics (see 'Genetics' section).
Infection with high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV) is the dominant risk factor for development of cervical carcinoma (zur Hausen, 1991), and it has been shown that testing for high-risk HPV infection can be used as an adjunct test or an alternative to Pap-smear screening (Wright et al, 2004; Cuschieri and Cubie, 2005; Meijer et al, 2009).
Assuming an adequate number of alleles are identified and have sufficient effect size, our simulations have demonstrated that a predictive genetic model as an adjunct test within a population screening program could potentially lead to better targeting of screening services to those at highest risk, and better adherence in those to whom screening is recommended.
The accuracy of non-routine adjunct imaging tests may differ from the accuracy of first-line surveillance tests as the test operator is primed to evaluate a suspicious finding in the non-routine surveillance patient.
