Test Overview & Methodology
The FISH ROS1 (6q22) Rearrangement Test precisely detects oncogenic fusions in the ROS1 gene using fluorescence in‑situ hybridization, a gold‑standard molecular technique for guiding targeted therapy (e.g., crizotinib) in non‑small cell lung cancer and other ROS1‑driven malignancies. This assay is performed exclusively on formalin‑fixed paraffin‑embedded (FFPE) tumour tissue blocks or unstained slides obtained from an accredited histopathology laboratory.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor | Specialist Diagnostic Radiology | DHA Registration ID: 61713011
“Every ROS1 result carries profound therapeutic implications. I always advocate that this FISH assay be correlated with full histopathology and clinical imaging — never in isolation — to ensure the patient receives the most appropriate targeted inhibitor. Your safety and accurate diagnosis are our unwavering commitment.”
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Specimen containing less than 10% tumour tissue (may yield false‑negative).
- Decalcified or over‑fixed tissue (impairs hybridization).
- Fresh/frozen tissue not amenable to FISH without prior processing.
- Emergency warning: If you experience sudden worsening respiratory distress, uncontrolled pain, or neurological symptoms, seek immediate emergency care — do not wait for test results.
- This test is not validated for paediatric samples without explicit clinical indication and guardian consent in compliance with Federal Decree‑Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. How accurate is the FISH ROS1 test, and can it give a false negative?
A negative FISH result in a high‑quality tumour sample reliably excludes ROS1 rearrangement with 99.9% diagnostic specificity, meaning alternative biomarkers should be explored. In rare cases, insufficient tumour content or poor tissue quality may affect accuracy, so results are always interpreted alongside clinical and imaging findings.
2. How long does it take to get the ROS1 rearrangement result in Dubai?
Our FISH ROS1 report is issued within exactly 4 working days from receipt of the FFPE block, enabling swift treatment decision‑making without compromising accuracy.
3. Does health insurance cover the 1200 AED cost of this test?
Direct billing verification is performed instantly via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731; most DHA‑recognised plans cover ROS1 FISH testing under oncology care provisions.
