C-MYC Amplification (FISH Test) in Dubai Healthcare City | 800 AED
Executive Summary & Core Metrics
Core Metrics
- Diagnostic Accuracy: 99.9% sensitivity via CE-IVD marked and ISO 9001:2015 accredited processing (Certificate: INT/EGQ/2509DA/3139).
- Sample Logistics: Hospital extraction only – sample collection is conducted strictly within an accredited hospital facility; mobile home phlebotomy is disabled for safety due to the invasive nature of bone marrow aspiration.
- Clinical Guidance: Complimentary post-test telephonic session to help you interpret MYC amplification results and discuss next steps with your treating physician.
- Insurance Support: Direct verification via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731.
Test Overview & Methodology
The C-MYC Amplification (FISH Test) detects copy number gain of the MYC oncogene using fluorescence in-situ hybridization on blood or bone marrow aspirate. This assay is a cornerstone diagnostic and prognostic tool for aggressive B-cell lymphomas, including Burkitt lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and double-hit lymphoma. Accurate MYC status determination is essential for WHO-based classification, risk stratification, and targeted treatment planning.
| Feature | Our FISH Test (C-MYC) | Closest Alternative (NGS Panel) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision & Sensitivity | Single-cell resolution, 99.9% diagnostic sensitivity | High sensitivity, but dependent on sequencing depth and bioinformatics |
| Methodology | Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization (FISH) | Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) |
| Turnaround Time | 4 days (samples accepted daily before 4 pm) | 10–14 days |
| Clinical Utility | Direct visualization of MYC amplification; essential for WHO classification and treatment decisions | Broader genomic profiling, but MYC copy number may be underestimated due to averaging |
| Regulatory Compliance | CE-IVD marked, ISO 9001:2015 accredited (Cert: INT/EGQ/2509DA/3139) | Varies by provider |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a specialist in diagnostic radiology, I understand the urgency that accompanies lymphoma genetic evaluation. C-MYC amplification detected by FISH must never be interpreted in isolation — it requires full correlation with morphology, immunohistochemistry, and clinical presentation. I strongly advise every patient to review these findings with their primary oncologist so that a tailored, evidence-based treatment strategy can be developed.”
— Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor, Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, DHA Registration ID: 61713011
Advisory & Medication Safety
Important Medication Advisory
Never discontinue or alter any prescribed medication without consulting your treating physician first. Results from this test may inform treatment modifications, but all changes must be overseen directly by your healthcare team to ensure safety and continuity of care.
Exclusion Criteria & Sample Safety
Safety Precautions & Exclusion Criteria
- Exclusion from Bone Marrow Collection: Severe coagulopathy, active infection at the puncture site, or inability to provide informed consent. Informed consent is mandatory for all bone marrow procedures.
- Sample Integrity Risks: Use of incorrect anticoagulant, specimen freezing, or incomplete Form 17 documentation. Ship all specimens at controlled room temperature (18–22 °C); DO NOT FREEZE.
- Post-Procedure Red Flags: Seek immediate emergency care if you experience excessive bleeding, enlarging hematoma, fever, or signs of infection at the collection site.
- Post-Test Urgency: Abnormal MYC amplification findings warrant prompt review by a hematopathologist or oncologist. Telephonic clinical guidance is available after result delivery.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the C-MYC amplification FISH test used for?
This test detects extra copies of the MYC oncogene to diagnose and risk-stratify aggressive lymphomas such as Burkitt lymphoma, double-hit DLBCL, and other high-grade B-cell lymphomas. MYC status is required for accurate WHO classification and helps guide therapy intensity.
2. How should I prepare for the blood or bone marrow collection?
No fasting is required. Inform the clinical team about all current medications, allergies, and any bleeding disorders. For blood, two green-top sodium heparin tubes are needed. Bone marrow aspiration requires written informed consent and is performed under sterile conditions in a hospital setting.
3. When will I receive my FISH results and how do I interpret them?
Results are available within 4 days of sample receipt. A complimentary telephonic guidance session with a clinical specialist will help you understand the implications of MYC amplification and discuss appropriate follow-up with your treating oncologist.
