Immunohistochemistry Pituitary Adenoma Panel Test
Introduction
The Immunohistochemistry Pituitary Adenoma Panel Test is an essential diagnostic procedure used to evaluate pituitary adenomas, which are tumors that occur in the pituitary gland. This test employs advanced immunohistochemical techniques to identify specific hormonal markers that are crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Understanding the presence and levels of these markers can significantly impact patient management and outcomes.
What the Test Measures
This test measures various hormonal markers associated with pituitary adenomas, including:
- ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic Hormone)
- FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone)
- GH (Growth Hormone)
- Ki67 (Proliferation Marker)
- LH (Luteinizing Hormone)
- LMWCK (Low Molecular Weight Cytokeratin)
- P53 (Tumor Suppressor Protein)
- Prolactin
- Reticulin
- TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone)
Who Should Consider This Test
Patients exhibiting symptoms of hormonal imbalances, such as unexplained weight changes, menstrual irregularities, or visual disturbances, should consider the Immunohistochemistry Pituitary Adenoma Panel Test. Additionally, individuals with risk factors for pituitary tumors, such as a family history of endocrine disorders or previous head injuries, may benefit from this test.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Accurate diagnosis of pituitary adenomas.
- Guidance for treatment decisions based on hormonal profiles.
- Early detection of potential complications.
- Comprehensive understanding of tumor behavior.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the Immunohistochemistry Pituitary Adenoma Panel Test will provide information on the presence and levels of various hormonal markers. A qualified oncologist or pathologist will interpret these results, helping you understand the implications for your health and treatment options.
