Most FISH testing includes looking at approximately 200 cells. The leukemic (BCR-ABL) cells are highlighted or stained, and are counted. If Jim is 8% positive, they found approximately 16 out of the 200 cells examined had the BCR-ABL translocations. If the prior FISH tests were negative or close to it, I would discuss possibly increasing the Gleevec dosage with the oncologist. --Trey
