Immunohistochemistry Calretinin Test
Introduction to the Immunohistochemistry Calretinin Test
The Immunohistochemistry Calretinin Test is a specialized diagnostic tool used primarily in oncology to identify and characterize tumors. This test plays a significant role in the diagnosis of mesothelioma and other cancers, providing valuable insights that help oncologists and pathologists make informed decisions regarding patient care.
What the Test Measures
This test detects the presence of calretinin, a protein that is typically expressed in certain types of tumors. By analyzing tumor tissue samples, healthcare providers can determine the likelihood of malignancy and the specific type of cancer.

Individuals who have been diagnosed with or are suspected of having tumors may be advised to undergo the Immunohistochemistry Calretinin Test. Symptoms that may prompt this test include:
- Unexplained weight loss
- Persistent cough or chest pain

Additionally, patients with a history of exposure to asbestos or those with risk factors for mesothelioma should consider this test.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Accurate diagnosis of cancer types, particularly mesothelioma.
- Guides treatment decisions and planning.
- Helps in monitoring disease progression and response to therapy.
