Immunohistochemistry 34Beta E12 HMWCK Test
Introduction
The Immunohistochemistry 34Beta E12 HMWCK Test is a specialized diagnostic procedure used to detect specific proteins in tissue samples, particularly in the context of cancer diagnosis. This test plays a pivotal role in the accurate identification of tumor types, guiding oncologists in determining the most effective treatment plans. Understanding the presence of high molecular weight cytokeratin (HMWCK) in tumor tissues can significantly influence patient management and outcomes.
What the Test Measures
This test primarily measures the expression of the 34Beta E12 HMWCK protein within tumor tissues. The presence and intensity of this protein can help differentiate between various types of carcinomas, providing essential information for diagnosis and treatment decisions.
