Diagnosis with a defined turnaround
Cytology, histopathology, immunocytochemistry, immunohistochemistry, molecular pathology and histology support — with practical reports and comments tailored to each case.
Cytology
1–2
- Practical and easy to interpret report featuring comprehensive microscopic descriptions in accordance with international guidelines.
- Our reports offer comments tailored to each case, guided by the provided clinical information.
- Routine cytological grading of mast cell tumours.
- Possibility of conducting several immunocytochemical profiles on pre-stained cytology slides to enhance the precision of classification of neoplastic processes.
Histopathology
5–7
- Our reports provide histological descriptions and classifications according to the latest international WHO standards.
- Reports designed to be practical and easy to understand.
- Our reports offer comments tailored to each case, guided by the provided clinical information.
- We assess tumour margins whenever applicable.
- Complex cases are deliberated among peers at no additional charge.
- We have a variety of in-house histochemical and immunohistochemical staining panels at our disposal to facilitate a more accurate and specific analysis.
Immunocytochemistry
4
- This analysis is conducted on cytological slides to discern poorly differentiated cell populations, which is particularly crucial for the classification of neoplasms.
- Our protocol enables marking on previously stained cytology slides, facilitating more precise diagnoses without the necessity of obtaining new samples.
- In lymphoma cases, immunocytochemistry plays a crucial role in classifying the phenotype (B or T), thereby influencing the prognosis and guiding the selection of the therapeutic plan.
- A comprehensive marker panel is at our disposal, facilitating the identification of various neoplasms on pre-stained cytology slides, including melanoma, mast cell tumour, plasmacytoma, sarcomas, carcinomas, among others.
- Vedis’ immunophenotyping service holds international recognition. Annually, we conduct over 1000 lymphoma classifications, handling cases from various European countries.
Immunohistochemistry
4
- This analysis is conducted on histological preparations, mirroring the process on cytology slides, to identify specific molecules that aid in the precise classification of the pathology.
- Immunohistochemistry plays a crucial role in categorizing the neoplastic origin, detecting micrometastases, evaluating prognostic markers, and identifying infectious agents.
- We conduct an extensive range of in-house validations, encompassing one of the broadest antibody panels available for veterinary medicine.
Molecular Pathology
10
- This analysis serves as an essential tool in various diagnostic areas and can be conducted on histological, cytological samples, and/or fluids.
- The application of the PARR is particularly important in the diagnosis of lymphoproliferative diseases, helping to distinguish between reactive and neoplastic populations.
- Detecting mutations in the c-kit exon is a crucial test for providing therapeutic guidance in cases of canine mast cell tumours.
- Molecular pathology tests can function as a valuable tool for identifying pathogens, including viruses and bacteria.
