Find Clarity About Neuroendocrine Tumors with Advanced Testing
When you’re experiencing unexplained symptoms or have received concerning biopsy results, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our Neuroendocrine Tumor Panel Immunohistochemistry Test provides the definitive answers you need to move forward with confidence. We understand that waiting for answers about potential neuroendocrine conditions creates significant anxiety – that’s why we’ve developed this specialised test to deliver reliable, accurate results that your healthcare team can trust.
Understanding Your Neuroendocrine Tumor Panel
This advanced immunohistochemistry test examines specific protein markers in your tissue sample to identify neuroendocrine tumors with precision. Unlike standard pathology tests, our panel targets six crucial markers that provide comprehensive information about tumor type, behaviour, and potential treatment options. The test analyses CDX2, Chromogranin, Ki67, PAX8, Synaptophysin, and TTF1 – each playing a vital role in characterising neuroendocrine tumors and guiding your treatment journey.
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
This test is essential if you’re experiencing symptoms that might indicate neuroendocrine tumors, including:
- Unexplained flushing or redness of the skin
- Persistent diarrhoea without clear cause
- Wheezing or asthma-like symptoms that don’t respond to usual treatments
- Heart palpitations or rapid heartbeat episodes
- Unexplained weight changes
- Abdominal pain or discomfort that persists
- Previous biopsy results requiring further characterisation
- Family history of neuroendocrine tumors or related conditions
If your doctor has recommended further testing after an initial biopsy, or if you have concerning symptoms that remain unexplained, this panel provides the detailed information needed for accurate diagnosis.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
