Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a powerful tool that uses antibodies to detect specific antigens in tissue sections. This technique allows pathologists to identify the presence and distribution of proteins, providing valuable information about tissue pathology. IHC is widely used in cancer diagnostics to detect tumor markers, helping to classify different types of cancer and determine appropriate treatment options. Recent advancements in IHC, such as multiplex staining, allow for the simultaneous detection of multiple targets, enhancing diagnostic accuracy.
