Understanding Your Multiple Myeloma Risk with FGFR3/IgH Testing
When facing concerns about blood cancer or multiple myeloma, having clear answers can bring immense relief. The FGFR3/IgH genetic test provides that clarity by examining specific chromosomal changes that drive cancer progression. We understand the anxiety that comes with potential cancer diagnoses, which is why we’ve made this advanced testing accessible and affordable across South Africa.
What This Test Detects
The FGFR3/IgH test uses Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) technology to identify specific genetic translocations between chromosomes 4 and 14. This precise analysis helps determine if your multiple myeloma involves the FGFR3 gene rearrangement, which significantly impacts treatment decisions and prognosis. Our state-of-the-art laboratory ensures the highest accuracy in detecting these critical genetic markers.
Who Should Consider This Test
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms or situations, this test could provide life-changing insights:
- Unexplained bone pain, especially in the back or ribs
- Persistent fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
- Recurrent infections or weakened immune system
- Abnormal blood test results suggesting plasma cell disorders
- Family history of multiple myeloma or blood cancers
- Already diagnosed with MGUS (monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance)
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Identifying FGFR3/IgH translocations early can significantly impact your treatment journey. Patients with this specific genetic profile may benefit from targeted therapies that wouldn’t be considered otherwise. Early detection allows for:
- More personalized treatment plans
- Better monitoring of disease progression
- Improved quality of life through timely intervention
- Reduced risk of complications like kidney damage or bone fractures
