Tumour Testing — Detect Early, Treat Better

 

A tumour is an abnormal lump or growth caused by uncontrolled cell division. While some tumours are benign (non-cancerous) and may not pose serious health risks, others are malignant (cancerous) and require urgent treatment.

The challenge is that, in many cases, tumours do not show obvious symptoms in the early stages — making timely testing the key to effective treatment and better recovery chances.

At AK Diagnostics, we provide comprehensive tumour testing services with cutting-edge technology, ensuring you get accurate, fast, and reliable results. Our aim is to give you the clarity you need so your doctor can decide the best course of action without delay.

Why Tumour Testing is Crucial

Early tumour detection can make a significant difference in the outcome of treatment.

Benefits of early tumour testing include:

  • Identifying whether a tumour is benign or malignant
  • Detecting cancer before it spreads to other areas
  • Helping doctors choose the most effective treatment plan
  • Monitoring how well treatment is working
  • Checking for tumour recurrence after treatment

Without testing, tumours can remain hidden until they cause serious complications — especially in the case of aggressive cancers.

Advanced Tumour Testing Services at AK Diagnostics

At AK Diagnostics, we understand that every patient’s case is unique, which is why we provide a variety of specialised tumour testing methods. Each test plays a different role in detecting, identifying, and understanding tumours so doctors can create the best treatment plan.

1. Biopsy — The Gold Standard for Diagnosis

A biopsy involves removing a small sample of tissue from the suspected tumour area, which is then examined under a microscope.
Types of Biopsies:

  • Incisional Biopsy — A portion of the lump is removed for testing.
  • Excisional Biopsy — The entire lump or suspicious area is removed.
  • Needle Biopsy — A special needle is used to take a sample without surgery.

At AK Diagnostics, all biopsy samples are handled with extreme care, processed quickly, and reviewed by experienced pathologists for accurate results.

2. FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) — Quick and Minimally Invasive

FNAC is a fast and safe method where a fine, thin needle is inserted into the swelling or lump to withdraw fluid or cells.

  • Advantages: No hospital stay, minimal discomfort, quick results.
  • Best For: Breast lumps, thyroid swellings, lymph nodes, salivary gland swellings.

3. Histopathology — In-Depth Tissue Examination

Histopathology involves the microscopic study of entire tissue sections to examine their structure and detect cancerous changes. It provides vital details such as:

  • Type of cells present
  • Signs of malignancy
  • Tumour grade and aggressiveness

This test is essential for creating a precise and personalised treatment plan.

4. IHC (Immunohistochemistry) — Pinpointing Cancer Cell Types

IHC is a specialised test that uses antibodies to detect specific proteins in tumour cells. This helps:

  • Identify the exact cancer type
  • Predict tumour behaviour
  • Guide targeted therapies (e.g., HER2 in breast cancer)

5. Blood Tumour Marker Tests — Non-Invasive Screening

Tumour markers are substances found in the blood that can be elevated in certain cancers. Common markers include:

  • CA-125 — Ovarian cancer
  • PSA — Prostate cancer
  • AFP — Liver cancer
  • CEA — Colorectal and other cancers

These tests are useful for screening high-risk individuals, monitoring treatment, and detecting recurrence.

Who Should Get Tumour Testing?

You should consider tumour testing if you have:

  • Persistent lumps or swellings
  • Unexplained weight loss or appetite changes
  • Long-term fatigue or weakness
  • Unusual bleeding or discharge
  • Skin changes such as growing moles or sores that don’t heal
  • A family history of cancer

Remember: Not every lump is cancer — but every lump should be tested.

Understanding Obesity: Causes, Risks, and the Role of Diagnostic Testing

Overview Obesity is no longer just a lifestyle concern — it is a serious health condition that affects millions worldwide. In India, the number of people struggling with obesity is steadily increasing, cutting across all age groups. More than excess body weight, obesity is linked to various health complications such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, liver issues, and even certain cancers. Early detection and preventive care can make a big difference, and that’s where diagnostic testing plays a vital role. At AK Diagnostics , we help patients take control of their health by offering reliable PathLab tests that identify underlying risk factors and monitor the impact of obesity on vital organs. What is Obesity? Obesity is a condition where excess fat accumulates in the body, usually measured by Body Mass Index (BMI) . A BMI of 25–29.9 is considered overweight, while a BMI of 30 or above is classified as obese. However, BMI alone doesn’t always reveal the whole picture....

Understanding the PAP Test: Your First Step in Cervical Health

OVERVIEW When it comes to women’s health, early detection can make all the difference. One of the most effective screening tests for cervical cancer is the PAP Test , also known as the Papanicolaou Test . At AK Diagnostics , we prioritise preventive care, helping women take control of their health through accurate and reliable diagnostic testing. WHAT IS A PAP TEST? A PAP Test is a simple, painless screening procedure that helps detect abnormal cells in the cervix — the lower part of the uterus that opens into the vagina. These cell changes may develop into cervical cancer if not identified and treated early. The test can also reveal infections or inflammation that need medical attention. This test is named after Dr George Papanicolaou, the scientist who first discovered its importance in detecting cervical cancer and other abnormalities. WHY IS THE PAP TEST IMPORTANT? Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, yet it continues to affect thousands of women every year....

Body Swelling – Causes, Symptoms, and Diagnosis

  Overview Body swelling , also known as  edema , is a common health concern that occurs when excess fluid builds up in the body’s tissues. While it can sometimes be temporary and harmless, persistent or severe swelling may indicate an underlying medical condition that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. What is Body Swelling? Body swelling can affect any part of the body — including the hands, feet, legs, face, or abdomen. It may appear suddenly or develop gradually, depending on the cause. Swelling can be soft and puffy or firm to the touch, and it might be accompanied by pain, redness, or warmth. Common Causes of Body Swelling Injury or Trauma  – Sprains, fractures, or bruises can cause local swelling. Infections  – Bacterial or viral infections can lead to inflammation and fluid retention . Allergic Reactions  – The immune system’s response to allergens can cause sudden swelling. Heart, Liver, or Kidney Diseases  – These conditions can cause wide...
