Test Overview & Methodology
The Immunohistochemistry Synaptophysin Test is a gold-standard tissue-based assay that identifies neuroendocrine differentiation in tumors. This immunohistochemical stain is performed on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks or slides, enabling precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
| Parameter | Our Test (Synaptophysin IHC) | Closest Alternative (Standard IHC) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision / Methodology | Fully Automated IHC with Digital Pathology Quantification; ISO-validated antibodies. | Manual IHC staining; variable batch-to-batch sensitivity. |
| Diagnostic Sensitivity | 99.9% (ISO 9001:2015 controlled environment) | Up to 95% (operator dependent) |
| Turnaround Time | 5 business days (FFPE block) / 7 days (large complex tissue) | 7–10 business days (no priority routing) |
| Post-Test Clinical Support | Included telephonic interpretation by DHA-licensed specialist | Report only; no direct consultation |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a diagnostic radiologist specialising in oncologic imaging, I emphasise that synaptophysin immunohistochemistry provides critical information about neuroendocrine differentiation. However, this stain must always be interpreted in conjunction with the complete histopathology and clinical context. I encourage every patient to discuss the findings with their treating oncologist before making treatment decisions.”
— Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor, Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, DHA Registration ID: 61713011

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is synaptophysin immunohistochemistry used for?
Immunohistochemistry synaptophysin detects neuroendocrine tumor differentiation in tissue biopsies, crucial for diagnosis and treatment determination.
2. How should I prepare for this test?
No preparation is required; your physician will collect the biopsy and provide clinical history, enabling precise synaptophysin IHC testing.
3. What does a positive synaptophysin result mean?
A positive result suggests neuroendocrine tumor differentiation; your oncologist will integrate the pathology with imaging and other findings for comprehensive treatment decisions.
