Understanding BCR-ABL Quantitative PCR (IS Scale) in Secunderabad

What is BCR-ABL Quantitative PCR (IS Scale) in Secunderabad?

The BCR-ABL Quantitative PCR (IS Scale) is a highly sensitive molecular blood test that measures the BCR-ABL gene (a genetic mutation linked to chronic myeloid leukemia [CML] and some blood cancers) and quantifies BCR-ABL p210 fusion transcript levels on an international scale (IS). It helps diagnose CML, monitor treatment effectiveness, and detect minimal residual disease, assess prognosis, and guide therapy adjustments. It is widely available with Tata 1mg labs at an affordable price in Secunderabad.

The BCR-ABL Quantitative PCR (IS Scale) test is recommended for individuals diagnosed with CML. It is especially useful for individuals experiencing therapy resistance or treatment failure, as it detects mutations that may reduce the effectiveness of TKIs. Additionally, this test is important for monitoring treatment response over time, ensuring that the chosen therapy continues to work effectively. The results guide doctors in choosing the best treatment plan by showing which medicine is likely to work better based on the individual’s genetic profile.

Usually, no special preparation is needed for this test. Eat and drink as per the daily routine. However, it is preferred to provide the clinical history before giving the sample.

What does BCR-ABL Quantitative PCR (IS Scale) measure?

The BCR-ABL Quantitative PCR (IS Scale) test measures the amount of BCR-ABL fusion transcripts to diagnose chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This is used to monitor patient response to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment. The test helps determine if treatment is effective, adjust medication, and monitor for disease recurrence or resistance. The test uses real-time quantitative PCR, which is highly sensitive and can detect even minute levels of residual disease. The results are reported on an International Scale (IS), which allows for standardization and comparability of results across different laboratories.

A low or undetectable level means the treatment is working well, while a higher or rising level may suggest relapse or resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions about BCR-ABL Quantitative PCR (IS Scale) in Secunderabad

Q. What is the BCR-ABL Quantitative PCR (IS Scale) test?

This test checks for a specific gene change (called BCR-ABL) in the blood. This gene is often found in people with certain types of blood cancer, like chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).

Q. Why do I need this test?

Doctors use this test to confirm if you have CML or a related leukemia, to track how well your treatment is working, and to check the recurrence of the disease.

Q. How is the test done?

A small sample of blood is taken from your arm with a needle. The sample is then tested in a lab using a method called PCR, which looks for and measures the BCR-ABL gene.

Q. Do I need to fast before the test?

No, you do not need to stop eating or drinking before this test.

Q. How often do I need this test?

The frequency of the test depends on factors like the stage of the disease and how well the patient is responding to treatment. Your doctor will recommend the appropriate schedule based on your specific condition.
