FISH T814 or MYCIGH for Burkitt Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Test
Introduction to the Test
The FISH T814 or MYCIGH for Burkitt Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Test is an advanced diagnostic tool used to detect chromosomal abnormalities associated with Burkitt lymphoma, a type of aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This test is essential for oncologists and hematologists in confirming a diagnosis, determining prognosis, and guiding treatment options.
What the Test Measures
This test utilizes Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) technology to identify specific genetic changes in the MYC gene, which are crucial indicators of Burkitt lymphoma. By analyzing the chromosomal structure, the test can detect the presence of translocations that may contribute to the development of this cancer.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Individuals who exhibit symptoms of Burkitt lymphoma, such as swollen lymph nodes, fever, night sweats, or unexplained weight loss, should consider undergoing this test. Additionally, those with risk factors, including a family history of lymphoma or previous cancer diagnoses, may also benefit from testing.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Accurate diagnosis of Burkitt lymphoma.
- Helps in determining the most effective treatment strategies.
- Provides insights into prognosis and potential outcomes.
- Guides monitoring and follow-up care plans.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the FISH T814 or MYCIGH test will indicate whether chromosomal abnormalities are present. A positive result suggests the presence of genetic changes associated with Burkitt lymphoma, while a negative result indicates the absence of these changes. It is essential to discuss your results with your healthcare provider to understand their implications fully.
