Test Overview & Methodology
The 1p & 19q Test is a molecular cytogenetic assay that detects the co‑deletion of chromosome arms 1p and 19q in glioma tissue – a hallmark of oligodendroglioma with far‑reaching prognostic and therapeutic implications. This test is the cornerstone for personalised treatment decisions in neuro‑oncology.
A valid doctor’s prescription is required for the 1p & 19q Test, unless the patient is undergoing surgery, is pregnant (when medically justified under specialist guidance), or is planning to travel abroad. The sample must be a formalin‑fixed paraffin‑embedded (FFPE) tumour tissue block or 10 unstained slides from a brain biopsy. The specimen is sent by your hospital or clinic via our secure cold‑chain courier.
| Feature | Our Test (1p & 19q FISH) | Standard Histopathology (Alternative) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% diagnostic sensitivity for 1p/19q co‑deletion | Morphological assessment only; no molecular data |
| Method | Fluorescence In‑Situ Hybridization (FISH) – gold standard | H&E staining + immunohistochemistry |
| Turnaround Time | 7–8 working days | 3–5 working days (requires follow‑up molecular testing) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“Every glioma journey is personal. This test reveals whether your tumor carries the favorable 1p/19q co‑deletion signature, which directly influences treatment intensity and long‑term outlook. I encourage you to view these results as a compass – not a verdict – and to discuss them with your oncology team to map the best path forward.”

⚠️ Essential Medication Warning
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Any change in your treatment plan must be supervised by your treating physician.
🛑 Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Not suitable for: patients without a histologically confirmed brain tumour biopsy; individuals on anticoagulants that cannot be temporarily paused (risk of biopsy bleeding).
- Exclusion: pregnancy (test may be deferred unless urgent; prescription exemption applies only under strict medical oversight).
- Emergency alerts – seek immediate care: sudden severe headache, new‑onset seizure, rapid neurological decline (weakness, vision loss), loss of consciousness, or any sign of brain herniation.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the 1p & 19q test, and why is it important?
A: The 1p & 19q test uses FISH to detect chromosomal deletions in glioma cells, guiding personalized therapy and predicting chemotherapy response. It is essential for the classification of oligodendroglioma.
2. How should I prepare for the test?
A: No fasting required. A tumour tissue sample obtained via biopsy is needed, accompanied by a valid doctor’s prescription. The sample is sent by your healthcare provider.
3. When will I receive my results, and how are they delivered?
A: Results are typically available within 7–8 working days, securely delivered via encrypted email and WhatsApp with clinical interpretation support.
