Immunohistochemistry CD30 Test
Introduction to the Immunohistochemistry CD30 Test
The Immunohistochemistry CD30 Test is a specialized diagnostic procedure that plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of certain types of cancers, particularly lymphomas. This test detects the presence of the CD30 protein in tumor tissues, which is a significant marker for various malignancies, including Hodgkin lymphoma and anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Understanding the expression of CD30 can provide oncologists with essential information to tailor effective treatment plans for patients.
