NeoSITE™ Melanoma
Use
This test employs fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to detect chromosomal abnormalities—including aneuploidy, amplifications, and translocations—associated with melanoma, serving as a molecular diagnostic aid in differentiating malignant melanocytic lesions when histopathology is ambiguous or uncertain.
