Immunohistochemistry Epithelial Membrane Antigen EMA Test
Introduction to the Test
The Immunohistochemistry Epithelial Membrane Antigen EMA Test is a vital diagnostic tool used primarily in oncology to identify specific cancer types. This test analyzes tissue samples to detect the presence of epithelial membrane antigens, which are proteins associated with certain tumors. Understanding the expression of EMA can provide critical insights into tumor behavior and guide treatment decisions.
What the Test Measures
This test measures the presence of epithelial membrane antigens in tumor tissue, which can indicate the type and aggressiveness of cancer. By examining these markers, oncologists can differentiate between various cancer types and determine the most effective treatment protocols.
