Test Overview & Methodology
The Immunohistochemistry CMV Test detects Cytomegalovirus proteins within tumor tissue, providing critical oncologic insight into viral presence that may influence disease progression, prognosis, and therapeutic strategies. This assay is performed on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue using validated monoclonal antibodies and a standardized ISO-controlled protocol.
| Feature | Our CMV IHC Test | Conventional IHC / Alternative Methods |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | ISO‑validated IHC on FFPE tissue | Variable protocols, often without ISO standardization |
| Turnaround Time | 5–7 business days (block 5d, biopsy 5d, large complex 7d) | 7–10+ days |
| Diagnostic Accuracy | 99.9% sensitivity (ISO 9001:2015) | Variable, often unreported |
| Sample Requirement | FFPE block / tumor tissue in 10% formalin | Same; may require additional fresh tissue |
| Price | 550 AED | Typically 500–700 AED |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor | Specialist Diagnostic Radiology | DHA Registration ID: 61713011
"This immunohistochemistry assay for CMV is a valuable adjunct in oncologic pathology, but results must be correlated with the complete histopathological picture and the patient’s clinical trajectory. I always advise my patients to discuss any positive or negative result with their treating oncologist before considering treatment modifications. Remember, laboratory findings are a guide, not a substitute for clinical judgment."
Safety Check & Red Flags
- Exclusion Criteria: Test cannot be performed if tissue specimen is insufficient, lacks a valid histopathology report, or is not submitted in proper fixative. Home collection is not applicable for biopsy sampling; it requires a pre‑obtained block or slides.
- Emergency Red Flags: If you experience rapid clinical deterioration, sudden vision loss, severe headache with neurological signs (suggestive of CMV retinitis or encephalitis), seek immediate emergency care regardless of test results.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the Immunohistochemistry CMV test detect?
A: It detects CMV proteins in tumor tissue using antibodies, confirming viral presence within cancer cells. The test is performed on archival FFPE blocks or slides.
2. How should I prepare for this test?
A: No special preparation is needed. Please provide the histopathology report, biopsy site details, and clinical history. The sample must already be obtained and submitted as a FFPE block or slides.
3. How long does it take to get the results?
A: Results are typically available within 5 to 7 business days, depending on the complexity of the tissue sample.
