For Multiple Myeloma (MM), a FISH panel is a standard diagnostic tool used to identify specific genetic abnormalities that determine a patient's risk level and guide treatment choices. Because myeloma cells often don't divide well in the lab, FISH is preferred over traditional karyotyping for detecting these "hidden" genetic changes.

Might want to ask. Usually performed as part of your BMB.

Detects chromosome abnormalities that might put you at higher risk of progression to MM.

Thank you. Correct. The FISH report is not in my UF online info. who did the BMB. I will need to ask next time in. UF has indicated treatment to start in the next month.
