What are the Advantages of Using FISH in Cancer Research and Diagnosis?
FISH offers several advantages in cancer research and diagnosis:
High Sensitivity and Specificity: FISH can detect even small genetic changes with high accuracy. Rapid Results: The FISH procedure can be completed relatively quickly, providing timely information for diagnosis and treatment decisions. Versatility: FISH can be used on a variety of sample types, including fresh, frozen, and paraffin-embedded tissues. Quantitative Analysis: FISH allows for the quantification of gene amplifications and deletions, aiding in the assessment of cancer prognosis and response to therapy.
