What are useful FISH analysis of parafinn embeded tissue sections in routine lymphoma labs?

• “Burkitt-like” lymphomas: Cases suggestive of Burkitt’s lymphoma but with atypical features should be analysed by the FISH technique for evidence of MYC translocation. • MALT lymphomas with the t(11;18)(q32;q21) translocation: For many laboratories FISH analysis is more convenient than a PCR procedure for detecting such cases.
