Immunohistochemistry CDK4 Test
Introduction to the Immunohistochemistry CDK4 Test
The Immunohistochemistry CDK4 Test is a specialized diagnostic procedure that plays a crucial role in the evaluation of cancerous tissues. This test focuses on detecting the expression of the CDK4 protein, which is an important marker in various types of cancers. By assessing the levels of CDK4, healthcare professionals can gain valuable insights into tumor behavior and potential treatment options.
What the Test Measures
The Immunohistochemistry CDK4 Test specifically measures the presence and intensity of CDK4 protein in tumor samples. Elevated levels of CDK4 can indicate aggressive tumor characteristics, thus helping oncologists in making informed decisions regarding treatment strategies.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is recommended for patients diagnosed with cancer, especially those showing symptoms such as:
- Unexplained weight loss
- Persistent pain or discomfort
- Changes in bowel or bladder habits

Individuals with a family history of cancer or those at high risk due to genetic factors may also benefit from this test.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Assists in accurate cancer diagnosis
- Guides treatment planning and management
- Helps in assessing prognosis based on tumor characteristics
- Facilitates personalized medicine approaches
