Test Overview & Methodology
The NTRK2 Gene Fusion FISH Test detects rearrangements of the NTRK2 gene in tumor tissue, guiding targeted therapy with TRK inhibitors for NTRK‑fusion‑positive cancers. This advanced cytogenetic analysis, performed on formalin‑fixed paraffin‑embedded (FFPE) tissue, is essential for precision oncology in the UAE.
| Feature | Our Test – NTRK2 FISH | Closest Alternative – NTRK IHC Screening |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | Fluorescence In‑Situ Hybridization (FISH) on FFPE tissue | Immunohistochemistry (IHC) with pan‑TRK antibody |
| Clinical Precision | Direct visualization of gene rearrangement; ~100% analytical sensitivity for break‑apart probes | Detects protein overexpression; lower specificity, often requires confirmatory FISH/NGS |
| Turnaround Time | 7–8 working days | 2–3 working days |
| Price (AED) | 1200 AED | ~600 AED (screening only) |
| Best for | Definitive fusion identification for targeted therapy eligibility | High‑throughput triage; requires confirmation for treatment decisions |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
A Message from Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor (DHA License: 61713011), Specialist Diagnostic Radiology:
“Understanding the genetic drivers of your tumor is a cornerstone of modern oncology. This NTRK2 FISH assay offers precise identification of gene fusions, which can unlock targeted treatment options. Please ensure that any therapeutic decisions based on these results are thoroughly discussed with your multidisciplinary oncology team.”
Medication Advisory: Do Not Discontinue Prescribed Therapy
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication, including targeted therapy, without consulting your doctor. If you experience any adverse effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Eligibility: Test requires a histopathologically confirmed tumor tissue block (FFPE) with sufficient cellularity. Not indicated for liquid biopsies or non‑neoplastic conditions.
- Caution: Patients with severe clotting disorders or ongoing anticoagulant therapy must inform the referring physician prior to biopsy retrieval.
- Urgent Symptoms: If you experience sudden severe pain, rapid tumor enlargement, difficulty breathing, or new neurological deficits while awaiting results, seek emergency care immediately—do not wait for test outcomes.
This test is conducted in full compliance with Federal Decree‑Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability, ensuring patient consent and clinical safety.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the NTRK2 gene fusion test used for?
It detects NTRK2 gene rearrangements in tumor tissue to identify eligibility for life‑saving TRK inhibitor therapies. This precision oncology tool is critical for cancers where NTRK fusions drive growth, such as certain sarcomas and rare solid tumours.
2. How accurate is the NTRK2 FISH test compared to NGS?
FISH provides near 100% analytical sensitivity for targeted break‑apart probes, precisely mapping gene rearrangements; RNA‑based NGS can detect a broader range of fusion partners but may require larger specimen input and longer turnaround. Our ISO‑accredited protocol ensures the highest specificity.
3. Do I need a doctor’s prescription for this in the UAE?
A valid UAE‑licensed physician prescription is required, except for pre‑surgical clearance, pregnancy screening, or travel mandates—our team can verify specific exemptions via WhatsApp.
