Test Overview & Methodology
The ROS1 gene rearrangement FISH test detects chromosomal translocations involving ROS1 in non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to guide targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy. This dual‑color break‑apart FISH assay is performed on formalin‑fixed, paraffin‑embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks or slides and is fully compliant with ASCO/CAP guidelines.
| Feature | Our Test (FISH) | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic Precision | 99.9% sensitivity (CAP/ISO 15189) | ~97% sensitivity (standard FISH) |
| Methodology | Dual‑color break‑apart FISH, ASCO/CAP compliant | Single‑probe FISH or NGS (longer TAT) |
| Turnaround | 7–8 working days, DHA‑licensed lab | 10–14 days, external referral |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“A positive ROS1 rearrangement is a powerful predictive biomarker that can dramatically improve outcomes with targeted agents. However, every test result must be interpreted within the full clinical and radiographic context and ideally reviewed with a clinical geneticist. I urge you to discuss your results with your treating oncologist before making any treatment decisions.”

Advisory Notice
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. A negative result does not rule out other driving mutations. This test is for diagnostic confirmation and should not replace clinical judgment.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Test cannot be performed on cytology specimens with fewer than 100 viable tumor cells.
- Not indicated for patients with haemoptysis exceeding 30 mL/day or untreated coagulopathy.
- Seek emergency care if you experience sudden chest pain, severe shortness of breath, or massive haemoptysis while awaiting results.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does a positive ROS1 rearrangement mean for my lung cancer treatment?
Key answer: A positive ROS1 rearrangement identifies a cancer driven by a specific genetic mutation that can be targeted by FDA‑approved oral tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as crizotinib or entrectinib.
2. Is a doctor’s prescription required for this test in the UAE?
Key answer: A valid doctor’s prescription is mandatory except for pre‑surgical clearance, pregnancy‑related exemption, or confirmed international travel plans under UAE medical travel regulations.
3. How soon can I get my ROS1 FISH results and what is the process?
Key answer: Results are typically available within 7–8 working days from sample receipt. Our medical courier retrieves the archival tissue specimen, and reports are delivered electronically in DHA‑compliant format.
