Overview
Other diagnostic studies for oligodendroglioma include biopsy and fluorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH) technique.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Biopsy
Biopsy demonstrates
- Biopsy may be done at the time of surgical resection of oligodendroglioma.
- Biopsy may be performed to help confirm the diagnosis of oligodendroglioma.
- Biopsy may be of two types: open or stereotactic.
- Indications for open biopsy and stereotactic biopsy are described below:[1]
| Type of biopsy | Indications |
|---|---|
|
Fluorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH) technique
- FISH demonstrates deletions of chromosome 1p and 19q.[2]
