Test Overview & Methodology
The IHC NSCC Panel uses immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumour tissue to subtype non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLC) for targeted therapy. Key protein markers—including ALK, ROS1, PD-L1, and EGFR—are identified to directly guide treatment decisions with near-100% specificity.
| Feature | Our Test (Premium Panel) | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% Sensitivity (ISO 9001:2015 validated) | 90–95% with standard IHC only |
| Methodology | AI-assisted IHC + DHA-approved antibody clones | Manual IHC without AI overlay |
| Turnaround Time | FFPE Block: 5 days | Large complex tissue: 7 days | Often 10–14 days |
| Specimen Retrieval | Secure Medical Courier Solid Tissue Specimen Retrieval | Self-deposit or limited courier |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“This IHC panel provides a molecular snapshot of your lung tumour. Every result must be correlated with the full histopathology report and clinical picture. I encourage you to discuss the findings thoroughly with your oncology team.”
— Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor, Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, DHA Registration ID: 61713011
Advisory – Medication Safety
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication, including anticoagulants or targeted therapy, without first consulting your treating physician. Abrupt cessation may lead to adverse clinical outcomes.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- This test requires a tumour tissue block; patients who have not undergone a biopsy are ineligible.
- Do not attempt to collect tissue at home – it must be obtained in a clinic or hospital setting.
- Seek immediate medical attention if you experience: new-onset chest pain, sudden shortness of breath, haemoptysis, or signs of spinal cord compression.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the Immunohistochemistry NSCC Panel used for?
This panel identifies key protein markers—such as ALK, ROS1, PD-L1, and EGFR—to classify non-small cell lung carcinoma subtypes, directly guiding targeted therapy options with near-100% specificity.
2. How should I prepare for the test and what sample is required?
No fasting is needed. You must provide a copy of the original histopathology report, biopsy site details, and complete clinical history alongside the FFPE block or archival tissue sample. The specimen is retrieved via Secure Medical Courier Solid Tissue Specimen Retrieval.
3. How long until I receive my results, and who explains them?
Results are typically ready within 5 days for FFPE blocks. A dedicated oncologist or pathologist will interpret the report and offer a complimentary telephonic clinical guidance session to explain the findings in plain language.
