Components: Immunohistochemistry
Price: 410.0 AED
Sample Condition: Submit tumor tissue in 10% Formal-saline OR Formalin fixed paraffin embedded block. Ship at room temperature. Provide a copy of the Histopathology report, Site of biopsy and Clinical history.
Report Delivery: Sample Daily by 6 pm; Report Block: 5 days Tissue Biopsy: 5 days Tissue large complex: 7 days
Method: Immunohistochemistry
Test Type: Cancer
Doctor: Oncologist, Pathologist
Test Department: Pre Test Information
Test Details: The immunohistochemistry chromogranin-A (CGA) test is a laboratory technique used to detect the presence and distribution of CGA in tissue samples. CGA is a protein found in neuroendocrine cells, which are specialized cells that release hormones into the bloodstream in response to nervous system signals. The CGA test involves staining tissue sections with specific antibodies that bind to CGA. These antibodies are usually labeled with a colored or fluorescent marker, allowing visualization of CGA in the tissue under a microscope. The staining pattern and intensity can provide information about the presence and distribution of neuroendocrine cells in the tissue sample. The CGA test is commonly used in the diagnosis and classification of neuroendocrine tumors, such as carcinoid tumors and neuroendocrine carcinomas. It can also be used to monitor the progression and treatment response of these tumors. Additionally, the CGA test may be used in research studies to investigate the role of CGA in various physiological and pathological processes. Overall, the immunohistochemistry CGA test is a valuable tool in the field of pathology and can provide important diagnostic and prognostic information for various neuroendocrine conditions.
