Immunohistochemistry CD79a Test
Introduction to the Immunohistochemistry CD79a Test
The Immunohistochemistry CD79a Test is a vital diagnostic tool used primarily in oncology to identify the presence of CD79a antigen in tumor tissues. This test plays a crucial role in the assessment and management of certain types of cancers, particularly B-cell lymphomas. By providing essential insights into the nature of a tumor, it assists oncologists and pathologists in making informed treatment decisions.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically detects the CD79a antigen, which is a marker for B-cell lineage. The presence of this antigen can help differentiate between various types of lymphomas and guide appropriate therapeutic interventions.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Individuals who exhibit symptoms related to lymphatic cancers, such as unexplained weight loss, night sweats, or swollen lymph nodes, should consider undergoing the Immunohistochemistry CD79a Test. Additionally, patients with a prior diagnosis of lymphoma may need this test to confirm the type and stage of their cancer.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Accurate diagnosis of B-cell lymphomas.
- Guides oncologists in selecting the most effective treatment plan.
- Helps in monitoring disease progression and response to therapy.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the Immunohistochemistry CD79a Test will indicate whether the CD79a antigen is present in the tumor tissue. A positive result suggests a B-cell origin of the tumor, which is crucial for determining the appropriate course of treatment. It is essential to discuss your results with your healthcare provider to understand their implications fully.
