Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's):
1. What is the 1p/19q Co-deletion Test?
The 1p/19q Co-deletion Test offered by Metropolis Healthcare is a specialized genetic analysis used to diagnose and classify brain tumors, especially gliomas. It helps identify genetic changes within tumor cells that influence how the disease behaves and responds to treatment.
2. Why is the 1p/19q Co-deletion Test important?
This test is important because the presence or absence of the 1p/19q co-deletion provides valuable information about the tumor’s nature, potential growth pattern, and response to therapy. At Metropolis Healthcare, this genetic insight supports doctors in creating a more effective and personalized treatment plan.
3. Who should undergo the 1p/19q Co-deletion Test?
Doctors may recommend the 1p/19q Co-deletion Test for patients diagnosed with or suspected of having gliomas or other brain tumors. It is especially useful when determining the tumor’s genetic profile can help guide therapeutic decisions.
4. What does the 1p/19q Co-deletion Test detect?
The test identifies whether parts of chromosomes 1 and 19 are deleted. When both are missing (a co-deletion), it often indicates a tumor that may grow more slowly and respond better to treatment, offering a more favorable prognosis.
5. How is the 1p/19q Co-deletion Test performed?
At Metropolis Healthcare, the test is performed on a tissue sample obtained through a biopsy or surgery. Advanced molecular diagnostic methods are used to detect chromosomal deletions accurately and reliably.
6. How should one prepare for the 1p/19q Co-deletion Test?
No special preparation is required for the test itself. Since the analysis is done on a tissue sample, your healthcare provider will give you specific instructions regarding the biopsy or surgical procedure beforehand.
7. Are there any risks involved in the 1p/19q Co-deletion Test?
The test itself poses no risks, as it is carried out on the collected tissue sample in the laboratory. Any risks are associated with the biopsy procedure, which your doctor will discuss in detail before the test.
8. What do the results of the 1p/19q Co-deletion Test mean?
A positive result, indicating the presence of the 1p/19q co-deletion, usually suggests a better prognosis and a higher chance of responding well to therapy. A negative result may point to a more aggressive tumor type. At Metropolis Healthcare, doctors use these insights to tailor treatment strategies for each patient.
9. Why choose Metropolis Healthcare for the 1p/19q Co-deletion Test?
Metropolis Healthcare offers precise and reliable genetic testing supported by advanced technology and expert medical professionals. The laboratory follows strict quality standards to ensure accurate results that aid in better diagnosis and treatment planning.
