Test Overview & Methodology
This immunohistochemistry assay detects CDX-2 nuclear protein, a critical marker for colorectal and gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas, enabling precise tumor classification and tailored oncology management. The methodology uses automated IHC on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections with DAB chromogen detection, providing high specificity and morphological correlation.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
โCDX-2 immunohistochemistry is a cornerstone for identifying gastrointestinal origin in metastatic adenocarcinomas. As a Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, I emphasize that staining patterns must be correlated with full imaging and clinical history. The interpretation should always be multidisciplinary to avoid diagnostic pitfalls.โ

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the CDX-2 test used for?
CDX-2 immunohistochemistry determines gastrointestinal origin in metastatic adenocarcinomas, guiding oncologists toward precise, site-specific therapy protocols.
2. How should I prepare for the tissue biopsy and CDX-2 staining?
No special patient preparation is required; simply provide a copy of the histopathology report and the biopsy site details to the laboratory.
3. What does a positive CDX-2 result mean for my cancer diagnosis?
A positive CDX-2 result strongly indicates the tumor originated in the colon, rectum, or stomach, refining diagnosis and treatment even when the primary site is unknown.
