What is Immunohistochemistry (IHC) panel-4?
An Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Panel-4 is a comprehensive diagnostic panel used for complex cases requiring extensive molecular profiling, often in advanced oncology or research settings. This panel includes multiple biomarkers for detailed characterization of tumors, identifying therapeutic targets like EGFR, VEGF, or mismatch repair proteins (MMR).
The procedure involves preparing tissue samples, applying specific antibodies, and visualizing antigen-antibody reactions using chromogenic or fluorescent methods. Proper sample handling and fixation are crucial for accuracy.
The panel supports diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy selection, particularly for targeted treatments. While risks are minimal, limited to biopsy collection, factors such as antigen loss or nonspecific staining can affect outcomes, underscoring the need for standardized protocols.
What to expect & how to prepare
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) panel-4 is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.
- Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
- Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
- Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
- Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Immunohistochemistry (IHC) panel-4 result rather than self-diagnosing.
