FISH-NTRK 1/2/3 Gene Panel Test: Precision Cancer Detection for South Africans
When facing cancer concerns, having the right genetic information can make all the difference in your treatment journey. Our FISH-NTRK Gene Panel Test provides the clarity and confidence you need during this challenging time. We understand the anxiety that comes with cancer diagnosis and treatment decisions, which is why we’ve made advanced genetic testing accessible and reliable across South Africa.
Understanding Your FISH-NTRK Gene Panel Test
The FISH-NTRK 1/2/3 Gene Panel Test uses Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) technology to detect specific genetic changes in three important genes: NTRK1, NTRK2, and NTRK3. These genes play a crucial role in cell growth and development, and when they become altered through gene fusions, they can drive cancer growth. Our test provides your oncologist with precise information about these genetic changes, helping to guide targeted treatment decisions that are specifically tailored to your unique cancer profile.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important for patients who:
- Have been diagnosed with certain types of solid tumours where NTRK gene fusions are known to occur
- Are exploring targeted therapy options for their cancer treatment
- Have rare or difficult-to-treat cancers where traditional treatments may not be effective
- Need precise genetic information to determine eligibility for specific cancer medications
- Want comprehensive genetic profiling to inform their overall treatment strategy
Your oncologist will recommend this test based on your specific cancer type and treatment goals.
Why This Test Matters for Your Health Journey
The FISH-NTRK Gene Panel Test offers several important benefits:
- Precision Treatment Guidance: Identifies whether you may benefit from targeted therapies specifically designed for NTRK gene fusions
- Treatment Optimisation: Helps avoid unnecessary treatments that may not be effective for your specific cancer type
- Improved Outcomes: Early identification of targetable genetic changes can lead to more effective treatment responses
- Peace of Mind: Provides clear, actionable information to reduce uncertainty during your cancer journey
- Comprehensive Analysis: Tests all three NTRK genes simultaneously for complete genetic profiling
Understanding Your Test Results
We understand that waiting for genetic test results can be stressful. Our team ensures you receive clear, comprehensive results within 4 working days. Your report will clearly indicate whether NTRK gene fusions are detected and provide detailed information about any genetic changes found. Our genetic counsellors and medical specialists are available to help you and your doctor understand what these results mean for your treatment options. Remember, genetic information is powerful – it empowers you and your healthcare team to make the most informed decisions about your care.
