Test Overview & Methodology
CD5 immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a specialised diagnostic technique used to detect CD5 antigen expression on lymphoid cells within formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections. It enables precise immunophenotyping of B-cell and T-cell lymphomas, differentiating between chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) versus other lymphoid neoplams.

| Reporting | DHA-compliant, integrated with histopathology report | Standalone CD5 only |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“CD5 IHC is a cornerstone in the workup of lymphoproliferative disorders. Its interpretation must always be correlated with full histomorphology and clinical data. This test provides crucial subclassification, but it is not a standalone diagnostic tool. Any unexplained lymphadenopathy or systemic B symptoms warrant urgent evaluation.” – Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor (Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, DHA Registration ID: 61713011)
Critical Advisory
This test is intended to support clinical decisions. Do not discontinue prescribed medications or delay seeking urgent medical care for red flag symptoms based solely on test results. Always discuss findings with your treating oncologist.
Exclusion Criteria & Specimen Requirements
- Inadequate tissue sample (less than 5mm³ or necrotic) will be rejected.
- Patients on recent rituximab therapy may have altered antigen expression; clinical correlation required.
- Red Flag Symptoms: Unexplained weight loss, drenching night sweats, persistent fever, or rapidly enlarging lymph nodes require immediate medical evaluation – do not wait for test results.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the CD5 immunohistochemistry test used for?
A: CD5 immunohistochemistry helps differentiate T-cell from B-cell lymphomas, which is essential for diagnosing chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). The staining pattern guides oncologists in selecting targeted therapies and predicting disease course.
2. How should I prepare? What sample is needed?
A: No fasting or special preparation is required. Submit tumor tissue in 10% formal-saline or a formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) block, along with the histopathology report, biopsy site, and clinical history. Ship at room temperature via secure medical courier.
3. When will I receive the results and how are they interpreted?
A: A detailed report is ready within 5 working days for block specimens (7 days for complex cases). The report includes the CD5 positivity/negativity score integrated with histopathology. Our oncology specialists provide telephonic guidance to explain the clinical significance of the result.
