| SR NO | TEST | TEST COMPONENTS | METHOD | SPECIMEN/TRANSPORT | TAT | CLINICAL APPLICATIONS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Frozen section | - | 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 (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 in refrigerator and transport with coolent. | 24 hrs | Helps early detection of cancer by better visualization of individual cells |
| 3 | Immunohistochemistry study | 1) Diagnostic panels for all systems 2) Predictive markers |
Leica Bond Max fully automated IHC machine | Formalin fixed tissue with tumor or paraffin blocks of tumor tissue and cell block of body fluids | 3-5 days | Helps in diagnostic as well as therapeutic purpose Attach or provide system wise list of IHC antibodies available with us |
| 4 | Same day biopsy reporting | Small biopsy | Microwave based test | Formalin fixed tissue to be received before 12.00 noon and report will be done by same day before 7 o’clock | Same day In defined time | Faster decision making for surgeons to decide on definitive plan |
| 5 | FNAC | a) Guided only Smears reporting FNAC procedure |
a) Received from radiologist or surgeons b) OPD procedure at our centre |
a) With proper fixatives b) Smears prepared from superficially palpable lesions |
24 to 48 hrs | For definitive diagnosis |
