ABSTRACT:
Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization (FISH) introduced in the 1980s, is a technique useful in gene mapping, detection of various types of abnormalities, such as fusion of genes and genomic fusion and deletions. Gradual implemented improvements have led to more precise patient diagnostics along with matching the best therapies. This technique has been now especially used in the field of cancer diagnostics and treatment. Some excellent examples discussed below include genetic tests like ALK and ROS1 gene performed in lung cancer.
