For Closer Follow-Up & Early Treatment
TERC FISH
TERC FISH test is able to detect genetic changes that lead the development of anal cancer, even before morphological cellular changes are seen. A positive TERC FISH allows the physician to have a closer follow-up for patients who would normally not be followed up.
This FISH test uses advanced fluorescence microscopy and computer aided visual analysis to detect fluorescently labeled DNA probes bound to the TERC gene locus at chromosome location 3q26. The detection of acquired genetic changes such as amplification of the TERC gene, that leads to anal and oral squamous cell carcinoma in HPV positive patients, allows for closer follow-up and early treatment.
