Short Description

This assay is recommended (ASCO / CAP guidelines 2013) in all cases where initial HER2 test result is equivocal. Reflex testing should be performed on the same specimen using an alternative probe like HER2 / D17S122. This probe targets an area which is different from the usual centromere probe for HER2. It is important to further identify equivocal results as it affects treatment protocols.

PreTest Information

Duly filled Chromosome & FISH analysis Requisition Form (Form 17) is mandatory.

Detail Description

FISH - EQUIVOCAL HER2 (ERBB2) Test

If you are looking for a reliable and accurate test for diagnosing HER2 (ERBB2) gene amplification, then FISH - EQUIVOCAL HER2 (ERBB2) Test is the right choice for you. This test is performed to determine the HER2 (ERBB2) gene amplification status in breast cancer patients. At DNA Labs India, we offer this test at an affordable cost of INR 12870.

Symptoms

The HER2 (ERBB2) gene amplification test is recommended for patients with breast cancer who have been diagnosed with equivocal HER2 (ERBB2) protein expression. The following are some of the symptoms of HER2 (ERBB2) gene amplification:

• Swelling or lumps in the breast
• Changes in breast size or shape
• Changes in the skin of the breast, such as dimpling or puckering
• Nipple discharge or inversion
• Redness or scaling of the nipple or breast skin

Diagnosis

The HER2 (ERBB2) gene amplification test is typically performed on tissue samples collected during a biopsy or surgery. The FISH test is highly sensitive and specific, and it can detect HER2 (ERBB2) gene amplification even in cases where the protein expression is equivocal.

Cost

The FISH - EQUIVOCAL HER2 (ERBB2) Test is available at DNA Labs India at an affordable cost of INR 12870. This cost includes the test kit, sample collection, analysis, and report generation. We provide accurate and reliable results within a short turnaround time. Our team of experienced professionals ensures that the testing process is conducted with the utmost care and precision.
