What Types of Cancer are Commonly Diagnosed Using FISH?
FISH is instrumental in diagnosing various types of cancer, including:
Breast Cancer: Detecting HER2 gene amplification, which can influence treatment options. Leukemia: Identifying chromosomal translocations, such as the Philadelphia chromosome in chronic myeloid leukemia. Lung Cancer: Detecting ALK gene rearrangements and ROS1 gene fusions. Lymphoma: Identifying specific translocations like t(14;18) in follicular lymphoma.
