What Role Does Immunohistochemistry Play in Diagnosing Lymphomas?
Immunohistochemistry is crucial in diagnosing lymphomas as it helps in:
Determining the cell lineage of the tumor (B-cell vs. T-cell). Identifying specific markers such as CD20 for B-cells and CD3 for T-cells. Assessing the clonality of the lymphoid population. Differentiating between Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
