Test Overview & Methodology
This test delivers precise protein expression data from your archival tumor tissue using automated Immunohistochemistry (IHC). The laboratory generates objective staining intensity and percentage positivity scores for five specified markers without providing a final pathological interpretation. Your treating oncologist or surgical pathologist must correlate these raw patterns with full histopathology, imaging, and clinical findings to complete the tumor profile and guide targeted therapy.
| Parameter | Our Test (ISO Lab) | Closest Alternative |

| Methodology | Automated Immunohistochemistry (IHC) with polymer detection, FFPE | Manual IHC, variable antigen retrieval |
| Turnaround Time (Block) | 5 working days | 10‑14 days |
| UAE Compliance | Full DHA, ISO 9001:2015 | Possible limited local accreditation |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a Specialist Diagnostic Radiology practicing in the UAE, I routinely evaluate pre‑ and post‑biopsy imaging that guides tissue targeting. These IHC staining patterns for five markers provide critical protein expression data that sharpen the differential diagnosis. Nevertheless, objective scoring from the laboratory must always be integrated with the complete histopathology report, imaging findings, and your full clinical story before any therapeutic decisions are made. Raw data alone does not constitute a conclusive diagnosis.” – Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor, Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, DHA Registration ID: 61713011
Medication Safety Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Stopping anti‑cancer, hormonal, or supportive drugs abruptly can compromise your clinical stability and treatment outcomes.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Extensive tissue necrosis (> 50%) or severely crushed specimen
- Unlabeled or unaccompanied specimen without histopathology report
- Insufficient tumour material (less than 100 viable cells)
- Specimen fixed in non‑formalin agents (e.g., alcohol, cytology fluid)
- Emergency Red Flags: If you develop sudden severe pain at the biopsy site, high fever, or uncontrolled bleeding, seek emergency care immediately rather than waiting for test results.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does “without interpretation” mean in this test?
Your test provides IHC staining patterns for five tumor markers without a pathologist's conclusive diagnostic report. The laboratory generates objective staining intensity and percentage scores, but it does not issue a diagnosis. Your treating oncologist or surgical pathologist must integrate this data with the original histopathology report, clinical findings, and imaging to determine the complete tumour profile and treatment plan.
2. How is the archival tissue specimen handled for this test?
This test utilizes your existing formalin‑fixed paraffin‑embedded (FFPE) tissue block or unstained slides. A licensed medical courier arranges secure retrieval of the archival specimen from your hospital or clinic, ensuring tissue integrity through our ISO‑certified temperature‑controlled logistics chain. No phlebotomy or fresh tissue biopsy is required for this assay. Please provide the prior histopathology report and biopsy site details upon scheduling.
3. What is the turnaround time for this panel?
Your immunohistochemistry any five markers results are ready in five working days for standard FFPE blocks. Complex large tissue resections may require up to seven working days. Reports are delivered via our secure online portal, and you receive an SMS/WhatsApp notification upon availability. Rush processing can be arranged for urgent clinical cases; please contact our support team for details.
