| SR NO | TEST | TEST COMPONENTS | METHOD | SPECIMEN/TRANSPORT | TAT | CLINICAL APPLICATIONS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Frozen section | Endometrial, cervical, ovarian mass (with limitations of requirement of permanent sections as the case) | On Cryostate Prior notification of frozen section required for 1) Time of frozen section 2) Type of specimen will be sent to us for frozen 3) What surgeon wants from frozen section 4) Relevant clinical details 5) Contact no of surgeon for communication during and after frozen |
Fresh specimen in a container without formalin | 35 mins after it reaches our laboratory | Diagnosis and decision making for additional surgery requirement |
| 2 | Liquid based cytology and cell block preparation ( Gynec and non gynec -All body fluid) | - | By special technique background material is reduced and hence individual cells can be seen clearly to detect early cancer | Specimen to be collected in plain tube and transported as early as possible. In case of delay keep and refrigerator and transport with coolent. | 24 hrs | Helps early detection of cancer by better visualization of individual cells |
| 3 | Immunohistochemistry study | A) Germ Cell tumor · AFP · PLAP · CD117 · CD30 B) Ovarian/gynec tumor · CA125 · Inhibin · WT1 · Calretinin · P53 · P16 · CEA · CD56 · CK7 · CK20 · CK 5/6 · ER · PR · Pan CK |
Leica Bond Max fully automated IHC machine | Formalin fixed tissue with tumor or paraffin blocks of tumor tissue Cell block of body fluids |
3-5 days | Helps in diagnostic as well as therapeutic purpose |
| 4 | Special stain | ZN stain for acid fast bacilli PAS stain: for fungal infection |
Manual | Formalin fixed tissue or paraffin block | 24 to 48 hrs | For infective pathology. |
