Testing Algorithm

Clinical Information

Neuronal Differentiation 1 (NeuroD1) is expressed in a variety of cancers including but not limited to colorectal, pancreatic, small cell (of cervix and lung), and neuroendocrine lung carcinomas and may play a major role in neuroendocrine differentiation. There are four major subclasses of small cell carcinoma of lung and cervix, one of which dominantly expresses NeuroD1. The subclassification of small cell lung carcinomas could provide distinct therapeutic options.

Interpretation

This test does not include pathologist interpretation, only technical performance of the stain. If interpretation is required, order PATHC / Pathology Consultation for a full diagnostic evaluation or second opinion of the case.

 

The positive and negative controls are verified as showing appropriate immunoreactivity. If a control tissue is not included on the slide, a scanned image of the relevant quality control tissue is available upon request; call 855-516-8404.

 

Interpretation of this test should be performed in the context of the patient's clinical history and other diagnostic tests by a qualified pathologist.
