Test Overview & Methodology
The STAT6 Immunohistochemistry test identifies STAT6 protein overexpression, a key diagnostic marker for solitary fibrous tumours and related mesenchymal neoplasms. A positive nuclear staining pattern strongly supports the diagnosis, especially when other markers are equivocal. The test is performed on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections and interpreted by expert histopathologists under DHA-accredited protocols.
| Feature | Our STAT6 IHC Test | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic Precision | Nuclear positivity in >95% of solitary fibrous tumours | Variable sensitivity with NAB2‑STAT6 fusion PCR |
| Methodology | Automated IHC with monoclonal STAT6 antibody (Clone YE361) | RT‑PCR or FISH (longer turnaround) |
| Turnaround Time | 5–7 days (routine) | 7–14 days |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, I emphasize that a positive STAT6 IHC alone guides diagnosis but must always be correlated with histopathological morphology and clinical context to avoid misinterpretation. False‑negative results may occur in dedifferentiated tumours; therefore, clinical‑radiological correlation remains paramount.”

Advisory & Safety Precautions
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. This test does not replace oncologist‑guided treatment decisions.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion Criteria: Active tumour site infection, severe coagulopathy, inability to provide adequate tissue sample, pregnancy (biopsy risk must be assessed).
- ER Red Flags: Intense pain at biopsy site, uncontrolled bleeding, purulent discharge, fever >38°C – seek immediate medical attention.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the STAT6 immunohistochemistry test used for?
The STAT6 IHC test detects STAT6 protein overexpression to confirm solitary fibrous tumour diagnosis with 99.9% diagnostic sensitivity in UAE laboratories. A positive nuclear staining pattern strongly supports the diagnosis, especially when other markers are equivocal. The test is performed on formalin‑fixed paraffin‑embedded tissue sections and interpreted by expert histopathologists under DHA‑accredited protocols.
2. How long does it take to get results for the STAT6 IHC test?
Results are typically available within 5 to 7 business days for routine cases. The digital report is sent directly to your phone and your treating physician. Secure Medical Courier Solid Tissue Specimen Retrieval ensures sample stability during transport.
3. Do I need to fast or stop medications before the STAT6 IHC test?
No fasting or medication changes are required because the test is performed on tumour tissue already collected during biopsy. However, inform your doctor about any blood‑thinning medications if a new biopsy is needed, as they can increase bleeding risk. Provide a copy of previous histopathology report, biopsy site, and full clinical history for accurate interpretation.
