Immunohistochemistry Hepatocyte Specific Antigen HSA Test
The Immunohistochemistry Hepatocyte Specific Antigen HSA Test is a specialized diagnostic tool used to detect the presence of hepatocyte-specific antigens in tumor tissues. This test plays a crucial role in diagnosing liver cancers, allowing for accurate treatment planning and management.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically measures the presence of hepatocyte-specific antigens (HSA) in tumor biopsies. By identifying these antigens, healthcare providers can ascertain whether the tumor is of liver origin, which is critical for appropriate treatment strategies.
