Immunohistochemistry CD99 MIC2 Test
Introduction to the Immunohistochemistry CD99 MIC2 Test
The Immunohistochemistry CD99 MIC2 Test is a vital diagnostic tool used in the field of oncology to identify the presence of specific proteins in tumor tissues. This test plays a significant role in the diagnosis and treatment planning for various types of cancers, particularly those associated with soft tissue sarcomas. Understanding the expression of CD99 and MIC2 proteins can assist healthcare providers in determining the nature and aggressiveness of tumors, ultimately guiding therapeutic strategies.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically measures the expression of CD99 and MIC2 proteins in tumor tissues. The presence or absence of these proteins can provide critical insights into the tumor’s characteristics and behavior, aiding in the classification of certain malignancies.
Who Should Consider This Test?
The Immunohistochemistry CD99 MIC2 Test is particularly recommended for patients presenting with symptoms indicative of soft tissue tumors or those who have undergone a biopsy for suspected malignancies. Risk factors include:
- Family history of cancer
- Previous diagnoses of soft tissue sarcomas
- Unexplained lumps or masses
- Symptoms such as pain or swelling in the affected area
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Provides accurate diagnosis of specific cancer types.
- Aids in determining the most effective treatment plan.
