I Choose SomArray Stomach

With SomArray Stomach Basic we focus on detecting the expression of 4 MMR / MSI proteins (or genes) (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2), and HER2 and PDL-L1 proteins.

It is possible to add EBV testing to the panel.

Consult your Oncologist in order to get the best possible choice for you and personalized treatment. Further personalization of exams is possible

Στην Μικροδιαγνωστική, από την παραλαβή του δείγματος, την θέσπιση διάγνωσης μέχρι και την ολοκλήρωση του μοριακού προφίλ ενός ασθενή, η διαδικασία διέπεται από τις αρχές της διασφάλισης της Ποιότητας στην διεξαγωγή όλων των επιμέρους εξετάσεων.

If you have been diagnosed with stomach cancer (diagnosis based on histological examination), it is possible that the indications for determining the molecular profile of cancer may be fulfilled. This molecular examination aims to detect whether the tumor exhibits instability in specific genes (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2) or protein expression disorder (PD-L1, HER2), which seems to be closely related with pancreatic’s cancer response in the treatment which will be selected.

Based on the determination of the molecular profile, the oncologist is given the opportunity to choose the optimal chemotherapy regimen, or immunotherapy, depending on the stage of the tumor.

Consult your Oncologist for the best option for you.

The examination is performed on the biopsy material or surgical specimen (paraffin block) on which your histology examination has been conducted as well.

If your sample is not already in microDiagnostics Ltd files, contact us to arrange for safe and fast shipping to our laboratory.

At our vertically integrated Laboratory, we handle your sample in such a way as to minimize its unnecessary waste:

  • The paraffin block is inserted if it is possible once in the microtome to obtain tissue sections by experienced histotechnologists.
  • Tissue sections are sequentially acquired in such a way as to provide immunohistochemical stains if required.
  • Ensure maintenance of tissue sections for further molecular testing.
  • Pathologists perform microdissection, in order to ensure the highest possible amount of cancer cells, removing all other necrotic cells or normal tissue that could affect the validity of the results.
  • Directly, the molecular biologist treats the tissue in a completely controlled environment with next-generation sequencing (NGS), or polymerase chain reaction of real-time (Real-time PCR) for the detection of mutations in genes of interest.
