Determining proliferation of tumor cells in paraffin-embedded tissue blocks from patients diagnosed with neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas or gastrointestinal tract including metastases
Includes pathology consultation charged separately.
Ki-67(MIB-1 clone) is a monoclonal antibody that reacts with cells undergoing DNA synthesis by binding to the Ki-67 antigen, a marker known to be expressed only in proliferating cells. By measuring the amount of tumor cells expressing Ki-67, an estimate of DNA synthesis can be determined. Studies suggest that Ki-67(MIB-1) analysis of paraffin-embedded tissue specimens may provide useful prognostic information in various tumor types.
This is not an orderable test. Order PATHC / Pathology Consultation. The consultant will determine the need for special stains.
Varies by tumor type; values reported from 0% to 100%
Results will be reported as a percentage of tumor cells staining positive for Ki-67(MIB-1). Semi-quantitative Ki-67(MIB-1) results should be interpreted within the clinical context for which the test was ordered.
The paraffin block analyzed must be representative of the patient's tumor.
Test results should be interpreted in the context of clinical findings and other laboratory data

A 4-micron thick section is cut from the paraffin block. The section is stained with an immunoperoxidase method using the monoclonal antibody Ki-67 (MIB-1 clone). This is the paraffin nuclear epitope to the Ki-67 antigen. Any nucleus that has an antigen-antibody complex will cause the bright-field, brown chromogen, diaminobenzidine (DAB), to precipitate onto it. All nuclei, both DAB-positive and -negative, are counterstained with diluted hematoxylin.(Unpublished Mayo method)
