FISH – Aggressive Lymphoma Panel Test
Are you or your loved one showing symptoms of aggressive lymphoma? DNA Labs UAE offers the FISH – Aggressive Lymphoma Panel Test to aid in the diagnosis and classification of aggressive lymphomas, such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and Burkitt lymphoma.
Test Details
The FISH – Aggressive Lymphoma Panel test is a diagnostic test used to detect specific genetic abnormalities in lymphoma cells. It utilizes a technique called fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to identify genetic alterations or rearrangements commonly found in aggressive lymphomas.
The test typically includes probes for detecting genetic abnormalities such as MYC rearrangements, BCL2 rearrangements, and BCL6 rearrangements. These genetic alterations are associated with a poorer prognosis and may require more aggressive treatment approaches.
The FISH – Aggressive Lymphoma Panel test is usually performed on a sample of lymphoma tissue obtained through a biopsy or surgical procedure. The tissue sample is processed in the laboratory, and the FISH technique is used to analyze the genetic material within the cells.
Test Cost
The cost of the FISH – Aggressive Lymphoma Panel test is AED 3040.0.
Sample Condition
To conduct the test, you need to submit a formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue block. Ship the sample at room temperature. The tissue block must contain 10% tumor tissue or 4 mL (3 mL min.) whole blood or 4 mL (2 mL min.) bone marrow from 1 Green Top (Sodium Heparin) tube. Ship the sample at 18-22°C. Do not freeze. A duly filled Chromosome & FISH analysis Requisition Form (Form 17) is mandatory.
Report Delivery
The sample is delivered daily by 4 pm, and the report is provided within 4 working days.
Test Department
The FISH – Aggressive Lymphoma Panel test is conducted in the Cytogenetics department.
Pre Test Information
A duly filled Chromosome & FISH analysis Requisition Form (Form 17) is mandatory before conducting the test.
Importance of the Test
The FISH – Aggressive Lymphoma Panel test plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of aggressive lymphomas. It helps guide treatment decisions and improves patient outcomes by providing important prognostic information. The test also aids in predicting the likely course of the disease.
It is important to note that the FISH – Aggressive Lymphoma Panel test is just one of several diagnostic tests used in the evaluation of lymphomas. It is often used in conjunction with other tests, such as immunohistochemistry and molecular genetic testing, to provide a comprehensive assessment of the disease.
If you or your loved one is experiencing symptoms of aggressive lymphoma, consult a hematologist or oncologist who can recommend the FISH – Aggressive Lymphoma Panel test and other necessary diagnostic tests.
At DNA Labs UAE, we are committed to providing accurate and timely results to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of various genetic conditions. Contact us today to schedule an appointment or for more information about our services.
