This test does not include a pathology consult. If a pathology consult is requested, PATHC / Pathology Consultation should be ordered and the appropriate FISH test will be ordered and performed at an additional charge.
Mayo Hematopathology Consultants are involved in both the pre-analytic (tissue adequacy and probe selection, when applicable) and post-analytic (interpretation of FISH results in context of specific case, when applicable) phases.
A charge and CPT code is applied for each probe set hybridized, analyzed, and reported.
If the patient is being tracked for known abnormalities, indicate which probes should be used.
Panel includes testing for the following abnormalities using the probes listed:
6q-, D6Z1/MYB
11q-, D11Z1/ATM
+12, D12Z3/MDM2
13q-, D13S319/LAMP1
17p-, TP53/D17Z1
t(11;14), CCND1/IGH
When an IGH rearrangement is identified, reflex testing will be performed to identify the translocation partner. Probes include identification of t(14;18)(q32;q21) IGH/BCL2 and t(14;19)(q32;q13) IGH/BCL3.
This assay detects chromosome abnormalities observed in paraffin-embedded tissue samples from patients with small lymphocytic lymphoma. For testing blood and bone marrow of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, order CLLF / Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), FISH.
This test is not appropriate for testing blood and bone marrow from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, order CLLF / Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), FISH.
Advise Express Mail or equivalent if not on courier service.
A reason for referral and pathology report are required in order for testing to be performed. Send information with specimen. Acceptable pathology reports include working drafts, preliminary pathology or surgical pathology reports.
Submit only 1 of the following specimens:
Specimen Type: Lymph node
Preferred: Tissue block
Collection Instructions: Submit a formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue block. Blocks prepared with alternative fixation methods may be acceptable; provide fixation method used.
Acceptable: Slides
Collection Instructions: For each probe set ordered, 2 consecutive, unstained, 5 micron-thick sections placed on positively charged slides, and 1 hematoxylin and eosin-stained slide.
Specimen Type: Solid tumor
Preferred: Tissue block
Collection Instructions: Submit a formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue block. Blocks prepared with alternative fixation methods may be acceptable; provide fixation method used.
Acceptable: Slides
Collection Instructions: For each probe set ordered, 2 consecutive, unstained, 5 micron-thick sections placed on positively charged slides, and 1 hematoxylin and eosin-stained slide.
If not ordering electronically, complete, print, and send a Hematopathology/Cytogenetics Test Request (T726) with the specimen.
