Test Details
The FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) NSCLC ALK1 & ROS1 test is a diagnostic test used to detect specific genetic abnormalities in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. It looks for rearrangements in the ALK1 and ROS1 genes, which are known to drive the growth of cancer cells.
The test involves analyzing a tissue sample taken from a patient’s lung tumor. Special fluorescent probes are used to label the ALK1 and ROS1 genes, allowing them to be visualized under a microscope. If there is a rearrangement in either gene, the fluorescent signal will be abnormal, indicating the presence of the genetic abnormality.
Detection of ALK1 or ROS1 gene rearrangements is important for determining appropriate treatment options for NSCLC patients. These genetic abnormalities can be targeted with specific drugs known as ALK inhibitors or ROS1 inhibitors. Identifying patients with these genetic alterations helps to personalize treatment plans and improve patient outcomes.
Overall, the FISH NSCLC ALK1 & ROS1 test is a valuable tool in the management of NSCLC patients, as it provides crucial information about the genetic profile of the tumor and guides targeted therapy decisions.
