Clinical Overview: CD117 (c-KIT) Immunohistochemistry
The CD117 Immunohistochemistry (IHC) test is a semi-quantitative, qualitative in vitro diagnostic assay designed for the detection of c-KIT (CD117) protein expression in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue. It is the clinical gold standard for confirming the diagnosis of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs) and differentiating them from other spindle-cell and epithelioid neoplasms. يقوم هذا الفحص النسيجي المتخصص بتحديد وكشف بروتين CD117 في عينات الورم المثبتة بالفورمالين والمغمورة في البارافين، وهو المعيار الذهبي لتأكيد أورام اللحمة المعدية المعوية.
| Feature | Our CD117 IHC Test (Premium) | Closest Alternative (Standard Lab) |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic Precision | Semi-quantitative scoring with automated digital pathology correlation (LC-MS/MS validated antibody clone). | Manual qualitative scoring; potential inter-observer variability. |
| Reporting Speed | 5 working days for standard biopsies; integrated with full molecular pathology consultation. | 7-10 working days; external referral for complex interpretations. |
| Pre-analytical Logistics | ISO Cold-Chain Home Collection; dedicated FFPE block transport with real-time temperature monitoring. | Patient self-transport or standard courier with no cold-chain guarantee. |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
"As a pathologist, I emphasize that a positive CD117 result is a critical piece of a diagnostic puzzle, not a stand-alone verdict. For a patient, this marker provides a gateway to targeted therapy, but the final diagnosis requires meticulous correlation with tumor morphology and patient history. Trust that this test, when interpreted within a multi-modal clinical context, empowers your oncology team to build a personalized treatment pathway with confidence." — Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, DHA License: 61713011
Critical Safety Notice
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication, including imatinib or other tyrosine kinase inhibitors, without explicit consultation with your primary oncologist.
- Exclusion Criteria: Insufficient tumor cellularity (<10% viable tumor in block). Decalcified tissue specimens (may cause false negatives). Specimens without a concurrent histopathology report.
- Emergency Red Flags (ER): If a biopsy site exhibits signs of severe infection (purulent discharge, high fever) or uncontrolled bleeding post-procedure, seek immediate Emergency Room care. Do not wait for the IHC test result.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
Q: What exactly does a positive CD117 test mean for my cancer diagnosis?
A positive CD117 IHC result strongly indicates the presence of the c-KIT protein on tumor cells, which is a hallmark diagnostic criterion for Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors and guides eligibility for targeted therapy with kinase inhibitors. Clinical correlation with tumor size, mitotic rate, and anatomical site is essential for complete prognosis. النتيجة الإيجابية لفحص CD117 تشير بقوة إلى وجود ورم لحمة معدية معوية وتوجه الأهلية للعلاج الموجه بمثبطات التيروزين كيناز.
Q: How must I prepare the tumor tissue sample for this specialized test?
Your histopathology report and the formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor block must be transported together at room temperature, avoiding extreme heat, to maintain antigen integrity for precise immunohistochemistry staining. Our home collection team provides a dedicated cold-chain kit for safe transfer. يجب نقل كتلة الأنسجة المغمورة في البارافين مع تقرير الأنسجة المرضية في درجة حرارة الغرفة بواسطة فريق الجمع المنزلي المزود بحافظة مبردة.
