Bookmark or Share- FISH Test: What It Is, How It Works & Results - Cleveland ClinicFluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a technique pathologists use in genetic testing to help diagnose diseases caused by chromosomal differences. Healthcare providers can also use FISH to detect gene changes that they can target to treat cancer.
- How fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) fits into cancer careFluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a laboratory-based test that can reveal the genetic makeup of a cancer. Sanam Loghavi, M.D., explains how the results help with diagnosis, developing a treatment plan and even post-treatment surveillance.
- FISH Test for Cancer - WebMDFluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a test that "maps" the genetic material in human cells, including specific genes or portions of genes. Because a FISH test can detect genetic...
- Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization Fact Sheet - National Human Genome ...Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) provides researchers with a way to visualize and map the genetic material in an individual's cells, including specific genes or portions of genes. This may be used for understanding a variety of chromosomal abnormalities and other genetic mutations.
- FISH testing | Tests and scans - Cancer Research UKDoctors use the FISH test to measure the amount of HER2/neu gene in each cancer cell. If the FISH test comes back strongly positive for HER2, it is much more likely that a drug called trastuzumab (Herceptin) will work.
