MM FISH Panel (FISH del(11q), del(13q), IgH, del(17p))
Introduction
The MM FISH Panel (FISH del(11q), del(13q), IgH, del(17p)) is a specialized diagnostic test that plays a significant role in the field of oncology. This test is designed to detect specific chromosomal abnormalities that are often associated with various hematological malignancies, particularly Multiple Myeloma and other related blood cancers. Understanding these genetic alterations is crucial for determining the most effective treatment strategies for patients.
What the Test Measures
This panel utilizes Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) technology to identify deletions in specific chromosomal regions, including del(11q), del(13q), IgH, and del(17p). Each of these genetic markers has been linked to the progression and prognosis of cancers, providing essential insights into the patient’s condition.
Who Should Consider This Test
Patients who exhibit symptoms such as unexplained fatigue, recurrent infections, or bone pain should consider the MM FISH Panel. Additionally, individuals with risk factors like a family history of blood cancers or those with abnormal blood test results may also benefit from this test.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Provides critical information on genetic alterations associated with cancer.
- Helps tailor treatment plans based on specific genetic profiles.
- Enhances monitoring of disease progression and response to therapy.
- Guides healthcare providers in making informed clinical decisions.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the MM FISH Panel will indicate the presence or absence of the targeted genetic abnormalities. A healthcare provider will interpret these results, discussing their implications for treatment options and overall prognosis.
