What is the Role of Immunohistochemistry in Dysplasia?
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and assessment of dysplasia. IHC staining can highlight specific cellular markers that are often overexpressed in dysplastic cells, such as Ki-67, a marker for proliferation, and p16, which is associated with HPV-related dysplasia. These markers help in confirming the diagnosis and assessing the severity of dysplasia.
