Overview

Other diagnostic studies for VIPoma include immunohistology staining test, which demonstrates staining for markers such as Chromogranin A, synaptophysin, cytokeratin, Ki-67, NSE, PGP 9.5.

Other Diagnostic Studies

• Immunohistology staining may be helpful in the diagnosis of VIPoma. Findings suggestive of VIPoma include positive staining for:
  • Chromogranin A
  • synaptophysin
  • Ki-67 (indicates the percentage of neoplastic cells immunolabeled for the marker of proliferation Ki67)
  • NSE
  • PGP 9.5
