- Oncologists and pathologists looking to refine treatment plans based on tumor biology.
Symptoms or risk factors may include unexplained weight loss, persistent pain, or changes in bodily functions, prompting the need for this test.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Helps in accurate cancer diagnosis and staging.
- Guides oncologists in selecting the most effective treatment strategies.
- Provides insights into tumor biology and immune interactions.
- Enhances the understanding of disease progression.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the Immunohistochemistry CD35 Test will indicate the presence and level of CD35 expression in the tumor tissue. A higher expression may suggest a different treatment approach compared to lower levels. It is essential to discuss the results with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive understanding and next steps.
