A tumor tissue sample is examined using FISH technology to detect gene rearrangements.
This test detects rearrangements of the SS18 gene, commonly involved in synovial sarcoma, using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).
It aids in diagnosing synovial sarcoma, a rare type of soft tissue cancer, by identifying the characteristic SS18-SSX fusion.
A positive result confirms the presence of SS18 gene rearrangement, supporting a diagnosis of synovial sarcoma.
No preparation is needed. A properly preserved tumor sample is required.
