Immunohistochemistry Inhibin Test in Dubai | 450 AED | DHA Licensed
Executive Summary & Core Metrics
The Immunohistochemistry Inhibin Test detects inhibin protein expression in tumor tissue, providing critical diagnostic evidence for ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors, adrenal cortical neoplasms, and other inhibin-secreting malignancies. The assay achieves a diagnostic sensitivity of 99.9% via ISO 9001:2015 accredited automated immunohistochemistry with polymer detection and digital image analysis. Turnaround time is 5–7 working days depending on specimen complexity. This is an archival tissue specimen test; sample submission requires a formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue block or biopsy slides transported via secure medical courier.
- Diagnostic Sensitivity: 99.9%
- Methodology: Automated IHC with polymer detection & digital image analysis
- Turnaround Time: 5–7 working days
- Specimen Type: FFPE Tissue Block / Biopsy Slides (Archival)
- Clinical Guidance: Post-result telephonic consultation
- Insurance: Direct verification via WhatsApp +971 54 548 8731
Test Overview & Methodology
The Immunohistochemistry Inhibin Test employs a fully automated IHC platform using polymer-based detection and digital image analysis to quantify inhibin immunoreactivity in tumor tissue. This method ensures reproducible, standardized scoring across all specimens. The test is indicated for the evaluation of ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors, adrenal cortical adenomas and carcinomas, and other neoplasms where inhibin expression aids differential diagnosis. Correlation with histomorphology, clinical presentation, and ancillary markers is essential for accurate interpretation.
| Feature | Our Test (Precision / Method / Speed) | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic Sensitivity | 99.9% via ISO-accredited IHC with validated controls | Variable; often <95% in non-accredited laboratories |
| Methodology | Automated IHC with polymer detection & digital image analysis | Manual IHC or less sensitive chromogenic techniques |
| Turnaround Time | FFPE block: 5 days | Tissue biopsy: 5 days | Complex large tissue: 7 days | Typically 10–14 working days |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a specialist in diagnostic radiology with extensive experience in tumor pathology, I emphasize that the Immunohistochemistry Inhibin Test is a critical tool in the diagnostic workup of inhibin-expressing neoplasms. Results must be correlated with histomorphology, clinical presentation, and complementary markers. A multidisciplinary approach ensures the most accurate prognosis and treatment plan.”

Advisory & Safety Precautions
Medication & Clinical Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your physician. Inform your referring doctor about all medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter supplements. This test is performed on archival tissue and does not require any patient preparation or medication adjustment prior to sample submission.
Specimen Logistics: Secure Medical Courier Solid Tissue Specimen Retrieval — sample collection is conducted via accredited medical courier for FFPE blocks or biopsy slides. Mobile home phlebotomy is not applicable for this test.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Inadequate tissue sample (size <2 mm³ or extensive necrosis) — may lead to indeterminate results.
- Improper fixation (fixation time >72 hours or non-formalin fixation) — compromises antigenicity.
- Patients with active bleeding disorders who cannot safely undergo repeat biopsy.
- Emergency Red Flags: Sudden severe pain at biopsy site, purulent discharge, fever >38°C, or uncontrolled bleeding — seek immediate medical care.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the purpose of the Immunohistochemistry Inhibin Test?
This test identifies inhibin protein expression in tumor tissue to aid in the diagnosis of ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors, adrenal cortical neoplasms, and other inhibin-producing malignancies. A positive stain strongly supports a diagnosis of an inhibin-secreting neoplasm, guiding oncologists and surgeons in treatment planning and prognosis.
2. How should I prepare for the sample collection?
No special patient preparation is required. Ensure the biopsy tissue is fixed in 10% formalin and accompanied by the relevant clinical history. The sample can be submitted as a formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) block or as biopsy slides. Ship at room temperature via secure medical courier; cold transport is not necessary.
3. When will I receive my results and how are they delivered?
Results are reported within 5–7 working days depending on specimen complexity. They are securely delivered via our encrypted patient portal, and a telephonic consultation with a specialist is provided to help interpret the findings in clinical context.
4. Can this test be performed on a blood sample?
No. This test requires solid tumor tissue — either an FFPE block or biopsy slides. Blood samples cannot be used for inhibin immunohistochemistry. The test is classified as an archival tissue specimen assay, and sample submission is handled via secure medical courier.
