Histopathologycal examination(Large)
This test involves the comprehensive microscopic examination of a large tissue specimen, typically obtained from major surgical resections. Pathologists meticulously analyze the entire sample to accurately diagnose the condition, assess tumor margins, and identify any spread.
Histopathologycal examination(Small)
This test involves examining a small tissue sample under a microscope to look for abnormal cells or changes in tissue structure. It's crucial for diagnosing various diseases by providing detailed insights into cellular health.
IHC MMR
IHC MMR stands for Immunohistochemistry for Mismatch Repair proteins. This test examines tissue samples to check for the presence and function of specific proteins involved in DNA repair, which are crucial for maintaining genetic stability.
IHC-CDX2
IHC-CDX2 is an immunohistochemistry test that detects the CDX2 protein in tissue samples. CDX2 is a marker commonly found in cells lining the intestines, making it useful for identifying the origin of certain tumors.
IHC-CK20
The IHC-CK20 test uses a special technique to detect Cytokeratin 20 protein in a tissue sample. This protein acts as a marker, helping doctors understand the specific characteristics of cells within the tissue. It's a valuable tool for classifying certain types of tumors.
IHC-CK5/6
The IHC-CK5/6 test identifies the presence of Cytokeratin 5 and 6 proteins in a tissue sample. These proteins are found in specific cell types and their detection helps pathologists characterize the nature of cells, especially in the context of tumor diagnosis.
IHC-CK7
The IHC-CK7 test detects Cytokeratin 7 protein in tissue samples. This marker is often present in cells from specific organs, making it useful for identifying the origin of a tumor, especially when cancer has spread from its primary site.
IHC-Her2
The IHC-Her2 test measures the amount of HER2 protein on the surface of cancer cells in a tissue sample. HER2 is a protein that can play a role in cancer growth, and its level helps doctors understand how aggressive a cancer might be and how it might respond to specific treatments.
IHC-P40
The IHC-P40 test detects the P40 protein in a tissue sample. P40 is a specific marker that helps pathologists identify cells with squamous differentiation, which is a key characteristic of certain types of cancer. It aids in accurate tumor classification.
Immunohistochemistry -AFP
This test uses immunohistochemistry to detect the presence and location of Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) in tissue samples. AFP is a protein normally produced by the fetal liver and yolk sac, but its presence in adult tissues can be abnormal.
Immunohistochemistry -Arginase-1
This test uses immunohistochemistry to detect the presence of Arginase-1 in tissue samples. Arginase-1 is an enzyme primarily found in the liver, and its presence in other tissues can be an indicator for specific conditions.
Immunohistochemistry -ATRX
This test uses immunohistochemistry to detect the presence and expression pattern of the ATRX protein in tissue samples. ATRX is a protein involved in maintaining genome stability, and its loss of expression can be significant in certain tumors.
