Test Overview & Methodology
The FGFR1 (Solid Tumor) FISH test detects amplifications of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 gene in formalin-fixed tumor tissue. This assay guides oncologists in identifying patients who may respond to FGFR-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors, particularly in breast, lung, and squamous cell carcinomas.
| Feature | Our ISO-Accredited FISH | Closest Alternative (NGS Panel) |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization (FDA-approved probes) | Next‑Generation Sequencing (broad gene panel) |
| Clinical Specificity | >99% for FGFR1 amplification – no incidental findings | High but may report variants of unknown significance |
| Turnaround Time | 7–8 business days | 14–21 days typical |
| Price | 1200 AED | Often >2500 AED |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“FGFR1 amplification results must be interpreted within the full clinical context, never in isolation. A positive result may open doors to specific targeted therapies, while a negative does not exclude other actionable mutations. Please discuss any concerns with your treating physician.”
— Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor, Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, DHA Registration ID: 61713011
Medication Advisory
Treatment Continuity Advisory
Do not discontinue or modify any prescribed therapy based solely on this test result. Always consult your oncologist before making clinical decisions.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Not indicated for patients without a histologically confirmed malignant solid tumor. Not suitable for screening asymptomatic individuals.
- Exclusion: Cannot be performed without a valid oncologist’s prescription (exceptions: surgery cases, pregnancy, or documented travel plans).
- Red Flag: If you experience sudden, severe cancer-related symptoms (uncontrollable pain, acute dyspnea, altered consciousness), seek emergency care immediately. This test is not designed for acute diagnosis.
- Red Flag: A negative result does not rule out other oncogenic drivers. Continued oncologic follow-up remains essential.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the FGFR1 FISH test and why is it important?
This test identifies FGFR1 gene amplifications in tumor tissue, enabling oncologists to consider targeted therapies for better outcomes. It detects extra copies of the gene that may drive cancer growth, helping to personalize your treatment with drugs specifically designed to block FGFR1 signaling.
2. Do I need a doctor’s prescription for the FGFR1 test?
A prescription from an oncologist is mandatory unless you are undergoing surgery, are pregnant, or travelling abroad. Our team will verify the prescription prior to sample collection. Please arrange for your tissue block or slides to be sent to our laboratory via secure medical courier.
3. How should I prepare for the FGFR1 FISH test?
No special preparation is required. Your oncologist will arrange for a tissue biopsy and send the formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) block or slides to our lab. Simply ensure you bring your Emirates ID and insurance card for verification.
