Diagnosis typically involves a combination of histological examination, immunohistochemistry, and molecular techniques:
Histological Examination: Tissue samples are stained and examined under a microscope for characteristic features of malignancy. Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Specific antibodies are used to detect proteins that are overexpressed in cancer cells. Molecular Techniques: Methods like PCR and FISH are used to identify genetic mutations associated with cancer.
