Immunohistochemistry Breast Cancer Panel 2 Test
Introduction to the Test
The Immunohistochemistry Breast Cancer Panel 2 Test is a vital diagnostic tool used in oncology to assess breast cancer. This test evaluates tumor tissue for the presence of specific proteins that can indicate the presence and type of breast cancer. Understanding these markers is essential for determining the most effective treatment plan for patients.
What the Test Measures
This test measures the expression of key proteins, including Estrogen Receptor (ER), Progesterone Receptor (PR), and Cathepsin D. It includes a thorough pathologist review to identify malignant cells within the tissue sample. These components provide critical information about the tumor’s biology and behavior.
