Immunohistochemistry CD45 LCA Test
Introduction to the Immunohistochemistry CD45 LCA Test
The Immunohistochemistry CD45 LCA Test is a specialized diagnostic tool used to identify the presence of specific cellular markers associated with cancer. This test plays a pivotal role in the evaluation of tumor tissues, providing critical information that aids oncologists and pathologists in making accurate diagnoses and treatment decisions.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically measures the expression of the CD45 LCA (Leukocyte Common Antigen) in tumor tissues. CD45 is a protein found on the surface of immune cells, and its presence can indicate the infiltration of lymphocytes in tumors, thereby assisting in the classification of hematological malignancies and other cancers.
Who Should Consider This Test?
The Immunohistochemistry CD45 LCA Test is recommended for patients with:
- Suspicion of hematological cancers such as leukemia or lymphoma.
- Abnormal findings in initial histopathology reports.
- Symptoms indicating possible malignancies, such as unexplained weight loss, persistent fatigue, or unusual lumps.
Benefits of Taking the Test
Undergoing the Immunohistochemistry CD45 LCA Test offers several benefits:
- Accurate identification of cancer types based on cellular markers.
- Guidance for treatment planning and prognosis.
- Facilitation of personalized medicine approaches.
- Timely diagnosis leading to timely intervention.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the Immunohistochemistry CD45 LCA Test will provide insights into the presence or absence of CD45 markers in your tumor tissue. A positive result may indicate a higher likelihood of certain types of cancers, guiding your healthcare provider in determining the best course of action. It is essential to discuss your results with your oncologist or pathologist for a comprehensive understanding.
