Immunohistochemistry CD79a Test
Introduction
The Immunohistochemistry CD79a Test is a specialized diagnostic procedure that plays a pivotal role in the detection and characterization of certain types of cancers, particularly lymphomas. By identifying specific proteins expressed in tumor cells, this test aids oncologists and pathologists in diagnosing malignancies and formulating effective treatment plans.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically detects the CD79a protein, which is crucial for the identification of B-cell lineage in tumors. The presence of CD79a can help differentiate between various types of hematological malignancies, providing valuable insights into the nature of the cancer.
Who Should Consider This Test
- Patients exhibiting symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, swollen lymph nodes, or persistent fatigue.
- Individuals with a family history of lymphomas or related cancers.
- Patients who have received a preliminary diagnosis of lymphoma and require further characterization of the tumor.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Accurate identification of cancer type, aiding in precise treatment planning.
- Helps in monitoring treatment response and disease progression.
- Provides oncologists with essential information for personalized medicine approaches.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the Immunohistochemistry CD79a Test will typically indicate the presence or absence of the CD79a protein. A positive result suggests B-cell lineage, which is critical for diagnosing specific lymphomas. It is essential to discuss your results with your healthcare provider to understand their implications fully.
