Introduction to the Immunohistochemistry CD1a Test
The Immunohistochemistry CD1a Test is a specialized diagnostic procedure that plays a crucial role in the detection and characterization of certain types of tumors, particularly in oncology. This test utilizes immunohistochemistry techniques to identify specific proteins expressed in tumor tissues, thereby assisting healthcare professionals in making informed decisions regarding patient diagnosis and treatment.
What the Test Measures
The Immunohistochemistry CD1a Test measures the presence of the CD1a protein in tissue samples. This protein is often expressed in certain types of cancer, making its detection essential for accurate diagnosis. By analyzing the expression of CD1a, oncologists and pathologists can determine the nature of the tumor and its potential behavior.

Additionally, individuals with a family history of cancer or those who have previously undergone biopsy procedures may also benefit from this test.

- Accurate diagnosis of cancer types
- Guidance for treatment options
- Monitoring disease progression
- Personalized patient care
- Early detection leading to better outcomes
By obtaining precise information about tumor markers, healthcare providers can tailor treatment plans to meet individual patient needs.
