IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY E-CADHERIN ECAD Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY E-CADHERIN ECAD Test for diagnosing various types of cancer. This test helps detect the presence of E-cadherin protein in tissue samples, providing valuable information for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning.
Test Components and Cost
The IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY E-CADHERIN ECAD Test is priced at 470.0 AED. The test involves staining tissue sections with specific antibodies that bind to the E-cadherin protein. The presence or absence of E-cadherin expression is then determined by examining the stained tissue sections under a microscope.
Sample Condition and Submission
To perform the test, please submit tumor tissue in 10% Formal-saline or a Formalin fixed paraffin embedded block. The sample should be shipped at room temperature. Additionally, provide a copy of the Histopathology report, the site of biopsy, and the clinical history.
Report Delivery
The sample is processed daily, and the report is delivered by 6 pm. The report for tissue blocks and biopsies is typically available within 5 days, while large complex tissue samples may take up to 7 days.
Method and Test Type
The IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY E-CADHERIN ECAD Test is performed using immunohistochemistry. This method involves staining tissue sections with specific antibodies to visualize the presence of the E-cadherin protein. The test is primarily used for diagnosing cancer.
Doctor and Test Department
The IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY E-CADHERIN ECAD Test is conducted by our experienced Oncologists and Pathologists. The test is carried out in our Histology department.
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, please provide a copy of the Histopathology report, the site of biopsy, and the clinical history.
Test Details
The immunohistochemistry E-cadherin (ECAD) test is used to detect the presence of E-cadherin protein in tissue samples. E-cadherin is a cell adhesion molecule that plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and function of epithelial tissues.
This test is commonly performed when there is a suspicion of abnormal E-cadherin expression, especially in certain types of cancer. Abnormal expression of E-cadherin is often observed in invasive carcinomas, indicating increased tumor aggressiveness and poor prognosis.
The immunohistochemistry ECAD test involves staining tissue sections with specific antibodies that bind to the E-cadherin protein. The presence of the protein is then visualized using a detection system, typically through the use of a chromogen that produces a color reaction.
The stained tissue sections are examined under a microscope, and the presence or absence of E-cadherin expression is determined. The results of the immunohistochemistry ECAD test provide valuable information for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning.
Abnormal expression of E-cadherin can indicate the presence of certain types of cancer or other pathological conditions. Additionally, the test helps determine the aggressiveness of the tumor and guides therapeutic decisions.
It is important to note that the immunohistochemistry ECAD test is just one component of a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and should be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical and pathological findings.

| Test Details | The immunohistochemistry E-cadherin (ECAD) test is a diagnostic test used in pathology to detect the presence of E-cadherin protein in tissue samples. E-cadherin is a cell adhesion molecule that plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and function of epithelial tissues. This test is commonly performed in cases where there is a suspicion of abnormal E-cadherin expression, such as in certain types of cancer. Loss or downregulation of E-cadherin expression is frequently observed in invasive carcinomas, and it is associated with increased tumor aggressiveness and poor prognosis. The immunohistochemistry ECAD test involves staining tissue sections with specific antibodies that bind to the E-cadherin protein. The presence of the protein is then visualized using a detection system, typically through the use of a chromogen that produces a color reaction. The stained tissue sections are examined under a microscope, and the presence or absence of E-cadherin expression is determined.
