Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's):
What does the Leukemia Panel (ALL) by FISH include at Metropolis Healthcare?
It includes FISH probes that detect chromosomal abnormalities commonly linked to Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
Why is this FISH panel important?
It confirms genetic changes that influence disease risk, treatment choices, and long-term outcomes.
How does Metropolis Healthcare perform this test?
Specialized fluorescent probes bind to targeted DNA regions, and results are interpreted using advanced microscopy.
Who should undergo this panel?
Patients diagnosed or suspected with ALL who require cytogenetic evaluation for proper classification.
Why is heparin blood used for this test?
Heparinized samples preserve viable cells, ensuring optimal quality for FISH analysis.
How long does the FISH analysis take at Metropolis Healthcare?
Turnaround time is typically a few working days, depending on the number of probes required.
Does this panel help guide treatment decisions?
Yes, identifying specific genetic abnormalities helps oncologists choose risk-adapted therapies.
Do previous treatments affect FISH results?
Certain therapies may reduce abnormal cell counts, so clinicians should share treatment history before testing
