What is the Role of Immunohistochemistry in Biopsy Reports?
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a technique used to detect specific proteins in tissue sections using antibodies. It is often employed to:
Identify the origin of metastatic tumors. Distinguish between different types of cancer. Predict the behavior of certain tumors based on protein expression.
IHC adds another layer of specificity to the diagnosis, aiding in more accurate and personalized treatment plans.
