Start with fit

Is this the right test for you?

The best test starts with a clear clinical question. These are common reasons a clinician or family may consider this test.

  • ✓Suspected leukemia or other hematological malignancy
  • ✓Unexplained fatigue
  • ✓Frequent infections
  • ✓Easy bruising or bleeding
  • ✓Swollen lymph nodes
  • ✓Family history of blood cancers
  • ✓Monitoring response to cancer treatment

In plain language

What this test helps you understand

This test helps identify specific genetic abnormalities associated with certain hematological malignancies, aiding in diagnosis, prognosis, and guiding treatment decisions.
The All FISH Panel Fish BCR/ABL TEL/AML1 MLL E2A test is a diagnostic tool used in oncology to identify specific genetic changes linked to various blood cancers, particularly leukemia. It uses Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) technology to look for chromosomal abnormalities. These abnormalities can be important for understanding the type of cancer, guiding treatment choices, and predicting how a patient might respond to therapy.

This test specifically looks for fusion genes created by chromosomal translocations. The genes analyzed include BCR/ABL, TEL/AML1, MLL, and E2A. Detecting these specific changes helps doctors classify the cancer more accurately and select the most effective treatment strategy.

This test is often recommended for individuals showing signs or symptoms suggestive of leukemia or other blood disorders, such as persistent fatigue, frequent infections, unusual bruising or bleeding, or swollen lymph nodes. It may also be considered for individuals with a family history of these conditions or those who have undergone previous cancer treatments.
