What Techniques are Used to Detect Chromosomal Abnormalities in Cancer?

Several advanced techniques are utilized to detect chromosomal abnormalities in cancer:
Karyotyping: Visual examination of chromosomes under a microscope to identify large-scale changes.
Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH): Uses fluorescent probes to detect specific chromosome regions and identify abnormalities.
Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH): Assesses copy number variations across the genome.
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS): Provides detailed insights into genetic mutations and rearrangements.
