Gastrointestinal endoscopy and the acquisition of tissue samples are essential for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases of the digestive system. A range of tissue samples are extracted and are analyzed under a microscope using a Hematoxylin & Eosin stain, and in some cases, immunohistochemical and special stains to identify cancerous cell abnormalities. If cancer is present, it can be localized to the exact region from the location of the tissue extraction.

This test identifies genetic abnormalities in patients with Barrett’s esophagus and provides an indication of progression requiring additional procedures and targeted management. Utilizing cytology, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) testing on brushings from patients with Barrett’s esophagus, patient chromosomal alterations can be distinguished with high sensitivity and specificity with regard to level of dysplasia and adenocarcinoma.
