About this service

An advanced laboratory test using FISH technology to detect FOXO1 gene rearrangements at 13q14, a critical biomarker for diagnosing alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma and differentiating it from other soft tissue tumors.

Purpose of the Test

Confirming the diagnosis of Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma.
Differentiating between various subtypes of soft tissue sarcomas.
Identifying genetic rearrangements in the FOXO1 (FKHR) gene.

Clinical Indications

Presence of an unidentified soft tissue mass or tumor.
Assisting in determining chemotherapy or radiation protocols.
Evaluating complex cases where tumor morphology is ambiguous.

Understanding Results

A positive result indicates FOXO1 gene rearrangement, supporting the diagnosis.
A negative result may suggest a different tumor type or absence of this specific mutation.
Reports must be interpreted by an oncologist in the context of clinical findings.

What is included?

✓Tissue sample reception
✓Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization analysis
✓Detailed diagnostic report

Conditions and notices

Fasting is not required
Requires a properly preserved tissue biopsy sample
Previous medical reports should be attached

Frequently Asked Questions

Short answers to the FAQs published with this service.

• What is the FISH test for Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma?

It is an advanced genetic test that looks for specific chromosomal changes to help diagnose a particular type of muscle and soft tissue tumor.

• Does this test require fasting?

No, fasting is not required for this analysis as it is typically performed on a tissue biopsy sample.

• What type of sample is needed?

The test usually requires a tissue sample (biopsy) taken surgically from the tumor, often preserved in paraffin blocks.

• How long does it take to get the results?

Due to the complexity of genetic testing, results usually take between 7 to 10 business days for a detailed report.

• Why does the doctor request the FKHR gene test specifically?

Rearrangement of this gene is a hallmark of Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma, helping differentiate it from benign masses or other tumor types.

• Can this test be performed at home?

No, this is a highly specialized test requiring precise laboratory processing of a biopsy sample and must be done in advanced labs.
