Test Overview & Methodology
SALL4 Immunohistochemistry detects the stem cell marker SALL4 in tumor tissue, confirming germ cell origin (testicular, ovarian, extragonadal) and guiding targeted oncologic therapy. This UAE-based test uses automated IHC platforms with a rapid 5–7 working day turnaround, providing precise nuclear staining results that direct chemotherapy protocols and surgical planning.
| Feature | Our SALL4 IHC (UAE) | External Reference Lab |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Automated Ventana Benchmark platform, double-read by two DHA pathologists | Manual staining, single observer |
| Methodology | Monoclonal anti-SALL4 antibody, ISO 9001:2015 validated protocol | Variable reagent lots, no local accreditation |
| Speed | 5 working days (biopsy), 7 days (complex) | 10–14 working days plus international shipping |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“SALL4 is a critical immunostain for confirming germ cell lineage in testicular, ovarian, and extragonadal tumors. Accurate interpretation requires correlation with morphology and clinical imaging. Our standardized protocol ensures reliable results to guide your treatment decisions.”
— Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor, Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, DHA Registration ID: 61713011
⚕️ Important Clinical Advisory
Do not alter or discontinue any prescribed therapy based solely on this test result. All immunohistochemical findings must be reviewed by your treating oncologist within the full context of your medical history, imaging studies, and physical examination.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Tissue decalcified with strong acids (may cause false negatives); cytology smears without a cell block; specimens with fewer than 50 viable tumor cells. Contact our laboratory team for guidance on appropriate specimen types before submission.
- Emergency Red Flags: Sudden severe pain, acute bleeding, or rapid mass enlargement — seek emergency medical care immediately. This laboratory test does not replace critical clinical assessment.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does a positive SALL4 immunohistochemistry result mean for my cancer diagnosis?
A positive SALL4 immunohistochemistry result confirms germ cell tumor origin, which directs specific and effective chemotherapy protocols. Further subtyping using additional markers such as OCT4, CD30, and GPC3 helps distinguish seminoma, embryonal carcinoma, and yolk sac tumor. Your oncologist will use this information to tailor the most effective treatment strategy for your specific diagnosis.
2. How long does it take to get SALL4 test results in Dubai?
Standard report turnaround is 5 working days for biopsy specimens and 7 working days for complex resection samples. Our ISO‑certified laboratory processes incoming FFPE blocks and slides daily by 6 PM. Urgent clinical cases can be prioritised after direct consultation with the reporting pathologist.
3. How do I submit my tissue sample for this test across the UAE?
