hybridisation

FISH stands for fluorescence in situ hybridisation. It is a test that looks for gene changes in cells. Genes are made of DNA. They control everything the cell does, including when it grows and reproduces. FISH tests look for specific genes or parts of genes.  Changes in genes can make the cancer cell: produce particular proteins make far more of the protein than normal stop making a particular protein If a gene change occurs, the cell may produce too much of a protein or not enough. This can make the cancer cells grow and reproduce more than normal. Cancer treatment There are now
