Test Details
The FISH – MET (7q31) amplification test is a diagnostic test used to detect amplification of the MET gene on chromosome 7q31. MET amplification is a genetic alteration that occurs in various types of cancer, including lung cancer and gastric cancer.
The test utilizes a technique called fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to detect and visualize the amplification of the MET gene. In this test, a fluorescently labeled probe specific to the MET gene is applied to the patient’s tumor tissue sample. If there is amplification of the MET gene, the probe will bind to the extra copies of the gene, resulting in a fluorescent signal.
The FISH – MET (7q31) amplification test provides important information about the genetic profile of the tumor and can help guide treatment decisions. MET amplification is associated with increased tumor aggressiveness and resistance to certain targeted therapies. Therefore, identifying patients with MET amplification can help determine if they are eligible for specific targeted therapies that inhibit the MET pathway.
Overall, the FISH – MET (7q31) amplification test is a valuable tool in the field of oncology for identifying patients with MET amplification and guiding personalized treatment strategies.
