QUESTION: What is the best risk stratification test: cytogenetics, FISH, MyPRS™ GEP70, other GEP tests or “other”?

DR RAFAEL FONSECA: The question is a very pertinent one because I think more and more people have moved away from conventional or classic cytogenetics and I think there’s a good reason for that. Sure enough, if they’re abnormal, you know that the patient has very high-risk disease. But the yield for abnormalities, this is about 8 to 9% of cases that you get informative metaphases. So it’s, for the most part, it’s just wasting money, the other 90% of patients.
