Conditions & Notices
- Fasting is not required, as the sample is a tissue sample (biopsy).
- The biopsy sample must be immediately preserved in 10% formalin.
- This analysis is usually requested as a complementary marker within a diagnostic package, not as a standalone primary test. The suspected diagnosis must be clearly identified (e.g., SCC vs. Adenocarcinoma, or evaluation of histiocytosis).
- Sending an additional paraffin block may be required if the package is ordered after the initial histological examination.
