Test Overview & Methodology
The NTRK2 Gene Rearrangement FISH Assay detects chromosomal rearrangements involving the NTRK2 gene in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue, aiding oncologists in identifying NTRK fusion-positive cancers eligible for targeted therapy. This highly sensitive molecular cytogenetic test delivers results within 4 working days, supporting precision oncology decisions in the UAE.
| Aspect | Our NTRK2 FISH Assay | Closest Alternative (NGS Panel) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% analytical sensitivity for NTRK2 rearrangements | High sensitivity but may require confirmatory FISH |
| Methodology | FISH (Fluorescence In‑Situ Hybridization) – gold standard for gene fusions in FFPE | Targeted RNA/DNA next‑generation sequencing |
| Turnaround | 4 working days | 10–14 working days |
| Cost | 800 AED | 1,800–2,500 AED (estimated) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a specialist in diagnostic radiology, I understand the weight a cancer journey carries. This NTRK2 FISH assay offers molecular clarity that can open the door to targeted therapy, but it must be viewed together with full histopathology and clinical context. Never use this result in isolation – our telephonic consultation is here to support your treatment dialogue.”

Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication or alter your treatment plan based on this test result without consulting your treating physician.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Unsuitable Samples: Decalcified tissue, specimens with <20% viable tumour content, or improper formalin fixation.
- Incomplete Requisition: Missing Genomics Clinical Information Requisition Form (Form 20) – mandatory; delay in reporting may occur.
- Emergency Symptoms: If you experience severe pain, shortness of breath, bleeding, fever >38.5°C, or sudden neurological changes, seek immediate emergency care – do not wait for test results.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the NTRK2 gene rearrangement FISH assay used for?
This test identifies NTRK2 gene fusions in tumour tissue to determine eligibility for targeted cancer therapies such as larotrectinib or entrectinib.
2. How should I prepare the tissue sample for the NTRK2 FISH assay?
Submit formalin‑fixed paraffin‑embedded (FFPE) tumour tissue block or three 4‑micron sections on poly‑L‑lysine coated slides with the mandatory Clinical Information Form 20.
3. How is the sample collected and when will I receive the result?
Hospital Extraction Only – Sample collection is conducted strictly within an accredited hospital facility; mobile home phlebotomy is disabled for safety. Results are reported in 4 working days via a secure courier system for archival solid tissue specimen retrieval.
4. Can I get the test done at home?
No. This test requires an archival tissue specimen (FFPE block or slides) collected by a medical courier from a hospital or pathology archive. Home collection is not available for safety reasons.
5. What do the results mean for my treatment?
A positive NTRK2 rearrangement indicates potential eligibility for TRK inhibitor therapies. However, treatment decisions must be made by your oncologist in conjunction with full histopathology and clinical staging.
