In the context of endometrial biopsy, the lab plays a crucial role in processing and analyzing the tissue sample obtained during the procedure. Highly trained histopathologists examine the sample under a microscope to identify any abnormalities or signs of diseases.
Indications to do the test
An endometrial biopsy may be recommended in cases of abnormal uterine bleeding, postmenopausal bleeding, infertility evaluation, suspected endometrial cancer, or to monitor treatment response for certain conditions.
What can be diagnosed in the test
Endometrial biopsy can help diagnose a wide range of conditions, including endometrial hyperplasia, endometrial polyps, endometritis, endometrial carcinoma, and other uterine abnormalities.
How does the lab perform Uterus
An overview of histopathology for endometrial biopsy. The excised tissue sample is first brought to the lab after being removed by the referring surgeon. The lab then performs a gross assessment of the specimen, measuring its weight, dimensions, and external appearance. The specimen is then sectioned, and slides are prepared for microscopic analysis.
The lab does not perform excision
The excision or removal of tissue during an endometrial biopsy is performed by the patient's referring surgeon, not by the lab. The lab's role is to receive and analyze the excised specimen.
Gross Assessment of the specimen
During the gross assessment of the endometrial biopsy specimen, the lab measures various parameters such as weight, dimensions, and external appearance. This assessment provides important information for further analysis and diagnosis.
How microscopic analysis is done
Microscopic analysis of endometrial biopsy slides is performed by the lab. The slides are carefully examined under a microscope to identify and evaluate cellular abnormalities or any other histopathological findings. The lab follows established protocols to ensure accurate and reliable results.
Major diseases diagnosed by histopathology pertaining to given specimen
Histopathology of endometrial biopsy can diagnose a wide range of diseases. This includes various infections, malignancies, and degenerative disorders.
Infections diagnosed
Histopathology of endometrial biopsy can help diagnose infectious diseases affecting the endometrium, such as endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Cancers diagnosed
Histopathology of endometrial biopsy plays a crucial role in the diagnosis of endometrial cancer, uterine sarcoma, and other malignancies affecting the endometrium.
Degenerative disorders diagnosed
Histopathology of endometrial biopsy can identify degenerative changes in the endometrium, including atrophic endometrium, endometrial hyperplasia, and adenomyosis.
Immunohistochemistry or IHC for endometrial biopsy in Pune
Pathofast lab offers Immunohistochemistry (IHC) services for endometrial biopsy in Pune. Immunohistochemistry is a technique used to identify specific proteins in cells or tissues. It can provide valuable information for the diagnosis and treatment of various conditions related to endometrial biopsy.
IHC Markers for Endometrial Cancer
In the case of Endometrial Cancer, several IHC markers may be used for diagnosis and prognosis. These markers may include p53, PTEN, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2. The presence or absence of these markers can help in determining the type and aggressiveness of the cancer.
IHC Markers for Uterine Fibroids
For Uterine Fibroids, IHC markers such as estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and smooth muscle actin (SMA) may be used. These markers can provide insights into the hormonal status and smooth muscle component of the fibroids.
IHC Markers for Adenomyosis
Adenomyosis can be evaluated using IHC markers like smooth muscle actin (SMA), estrogen receptor (ER), and progesterone receptor (PR). These markers can help in differentiating adenomyosis from other conditions and understanding the hormonal influence on the disease.
IHC Markers for Endometriosis
IHC markers like estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) can be used to evaluate Endometriosis. These markers can assist in confirming the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus and understanding the hormonal influence on the disease.
IHC Markers for Polyps
For Polyps, IHC markers such as CD10, estrogen receptor (ER), and progesterone receptor (PR) may be utilized. These markers can help in distinguishing polyps from other conditions and providing insights into the hormonal influence on the polyp growth.
