FISH T814 or MYCIGH for Burkitt Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Test
The FISH T814 or MYCIGH for Burkitt Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Test is a specialized diagnostic test designed to detect specific chromosomal abnormalities in patients suspected of having Burkitt lymphoma, a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This test is crucial for oncologists and hematologists as it helps in confirming the diagnosis and guiding treatment decisions.
Importance of the Test
Burkitt lymphoma is an aggressive form of cancer that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. The FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) technique allows for the identification of MYC gene rearrangements, which are significant indicators of this disease. Early detection through this test can lead to better patient outcomes and tailored therapeutic strategies.
What the Test Measures
The FISH T814 or MYCIGH test specifically measures the presence of chromosomal abnormalities associated with Burkitt lymphoma, particularly focusing on the MYC gene. These abnormalities can influence the behavior of the cancer and the patient’s response to treatment.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is recommended for individuals showing symptoms such as:
- Rapidly growing tumors
- Swollen lymph nodes
- Fever, night sweats, and unexplained weight loss
- Individuals with a family history of lymphoma or other risk factors
Consultation with an oncologist or hematologist is essential for proper evaluation.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Accurate diagnosis of Burkitt lymphoma
- Guidance for treatment planning
- Monitoring of treatment response
- Informed decision-making for patients and healthcare providers
