Understanding Your CLL Journey: The Power of Genetic Insight
When you’re facing Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia, uncertainty can feel overwhelming. You deserve clarity about your specific genetic profile to guide your treatment path. Our CLL FISH Panel provides that crucial understanding, analysing the chromosomal changes that directly impact your prognosis and treatment options.
What Does the CLL FISH Panel Detect?
This specialised test examines four critical chromosomal abnormalities that significantly influence your CLL journey:
- del(11q): Associated with more aggressive disease progression
- trisomy 12: Indicates intermediate prognosis
- del(13q): The most favourable prognostic marker
- del(17p): Indicates high-risk disease requiring specialised treatment
Understanding these genetic markers helps your healthcare team tailor your treatment specifically to your unique genetic profile.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you:
- Have been recently diagnosed with CLL
- Are experiencing unexplained fatigue, weight loss, or night sweats
- Have noticed swollen lymph nodes without infection
- Are considering treatment options and want genetic guidance
- Have family history of blood cancers
- Want to understand your disease prognosis more clearly
Early genetic profiling can significantly impact your treatment success and quality of life.
Why This Matters for Your Health Journey
The insights from your CLL FISH Panel can:
- Guide Treatment Decisions: Help determine whether you need immediate treatment or can follow watchful waiting
- Predict Disease Progression: Understand how your CLL might behave over time
