More Info
The Clinical Cancer Cytogenetics Laboratory at Penn Medicine provides genetic testing for chromosome abnormalities associated with cancer. The lab performs conventional chromosome analysis and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) on neoplastic samples. Specimens routinely evaluated include bone marrow, peripheral blood, and lymph nodes. The laboratory also performs FISH testing on paraffin-embedded tissues.
