What is ROS1 - FISH?

The ROS1 - FISH test examines tissue samples to look for specific changes in the ROS1 gene. This test is crucial for understanding certain types of cancer, particularly non-small cell lung cancer.

Why is this test important?

Identifying ROS1 gene rearrangements helps doctors determine if a patient might benefit from targeted therapies. These therapies are designed to specifically block the effects of the altered gene, offering a more personalized and effective treatment approach.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required, as the sample is typically collected during a biopsy procedure.
