Test Overview & Methodology
The CD31 immunohistochemistry test is a gold-standard tissue-based assay that detects the endothelial cell marker PECAM-1 to accurately differentiate vascular tumors. It plays a critical role in confirming the vascular lineage of neoplasms and guiding precise oncological management.
| Feature | Our CD31 IHC Test | Alternative (CD34 IHC) |
|---|---|---|
| Specificity for Endothelial Cells | High (PECAM-1) โ detects both blood and lymphatic endothelium | Moderate (CD34) โ also stains fibroblasts and some hematopoietic cells |
| Diagnostic Accuracy for Vascular Tumors | >99% sensitivity with optimized protocol | ~95% sensitivity, potential false positives |
| TAT | 5โ7 days (block/biopsy) | Similar |
| Cost (AED) | 450 | 400โ500 |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor (Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, DHA: 61713011) advises: Awaiting biopsy results can be an emotional challenge. CD31 IHC is a powerful tool for accurately classifying vascular lesions, but it must be interpreted in conjunction with full histopathological examination and clinical findings. Our team is dedicated to providing you with compassionate, precise care."
Advisory: Clinical Context & Medication Precautions
CD31 IHC results should always be correlated with morphological features and the full clinical picture. Do not alter or discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your treating physician. While the staining process itself is unaffected by medications, all therapeutic decisions must be made by your specialist based on integrated diagnostic data.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Specimen Rejection: Samples with extensive necrosis, decalcification artifacts, or insufficient tumor tissue may be rejected; repeat biopsy may be necessary.
- Patient Safety Alerts: If you experience rapid lesion growth, severe pain, or systemic symptoms (fever, weight loss), seek immediate emergency careโdo not wait for IHC results.
- Not for Stand-Alone Diagnosis: A positive CD31 stain alone is not diagnostic; correlation with morphology and clinical context is mandatory.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does a positive CD31 immunohistochemistry result indicate for my vascular tumor diagnosis?
A positive CD31 IHC confirms the presence of endothelial cell differentiation, aiding in classifying vascular tumors as hemangiomas or angiosarcomas. CD31 (PECAM-1) is a highly specific marker for endothelial cells. A positive result indicates that the tumor cells have vascular lineage, which helps pathologists distinguish benign hemangiomas from intermediate or malignant vascular neoplasms. Your oncologist will integrate this with other histopathological features and clinical data to formulate a precise diagnosis and treatment plan.
2. How long does it take to get CD31 immunohistochemistry results in Dubai?
Standard CD31 IHC results are available within 5 working days for blocks and biopsies, and 7 days for large complex tissue specimens. Specimens are received daily until 6 PM; our ISO-certified laboratory uses optimized protocols to ensure rapid turnaround without compromising quality control.
