Test Overview & Methodology
The FISH – t(8;14) (MYC/IGH) test is the gold-standard molecular diagnostic for Burkitt lymphoma and aggressive B‑cell non‑Hodgkin lymphomas, directly visualising the hallmark translocation with near‑perfect specificity. Performed on whole blood, it delivers a definitive report within 4 working days, enabling rapid, life‑saving oncological interventions.
| Parameter | Our FISH Test | Conventional Karyotyping |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | Fluorescence In‑Situ Hybridisation (FISH) with locus‑specific probes | G‑banded chromosome analysis requiring cultured dividing cells |
| Analytical Sensitivity | >99% for MYC/IGH fusion; detects cryptic rearrangements | ~70%; may miss submicroscopic abnormalities |
| Turnaround Time | 4 working days from sample receipt | 10–14 calendar days due to culture requirement |
| Sample Requirement | 5 mL whole blood in Sodium Heparin (Green Top); ambient 18–22 °C | 5–10 mL bone marrow or peripheral blood; sterile transport |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a DHA‑licensed specialist in diagnostic radiology, I recognise the emotional weight a lymphoma diagnosis carries. This FISH test offers the molecular certainty needed to tailor therapy with confidence, yet every result must be integrated with your full clinical picture and histopathology review. Please remain in close contact with your treating haematologist—never adjust your medications independently.”
— Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor, Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, DHA Registration ID: 61713011
⚠️ Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue, modify, or pause any prescribed therapy without explicit instruction from your consulting physician. Abrupt cessation can precipitate disease acceleration.
Critical Exclusion Criteria & ER Red Flags
- Exclusion: Active severe thrombocytopenia (platelets < 20 × 10⁹/L) or uncontrolled coagulopathy without haematologist clearance. Bone marrow aspiration requires a pre‑procedure clotting screen.
- Exclusion: Inability to lie prone or maintain position for bone marrow collection may necessitate alternative sampling after specialist evaluation.
- Red Flag: If you develop fever ≥38.5 °C, spontaneous bleeding, or sudden neurological symptoms (confusion, weakness) while awaiting results, seek emergency medical attention immediately and present your requisition form.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does a positive FISH t(8;14) result mean for my diagnosis?
A positive result indicates the presence of the MYC/IGH translocation, a hallmark molecular alteration characteristic of Burkitt lymphoma and high‑grade B‑cell lymphomas. This finding requires immediate integration with histopathological and clinical data by a multidisciplinary oncology team to confirm the exact diagnosis and initiate appropriate therapy.
2. How should I prepare for the blood collection?
No fasting is required for peripheral blood sampling; simply keep hydrated. For bone marrow aspiration, the procedure is performed under local anaesthesia—disclose all anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications to your haematologist at least 48 hours prior as temporary interruption may be needed.
3. When will I receive my results and how should I act?
Your report is available within 4 working days of the sample reaching our laboratory by 4 pm. You will receive an SMS notification with a secure download link; a post‑test consultation call with a DHA‑licensed specialist is automatically scheduled to clarify the findings and escalate to oncology if necessary.
