IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY (IHC) - ER/PR - (Outlab)
What does IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY (IHC) - ER/PR - (Outlab) measure?
This immunohistochemistry test evaluates estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) proteins in tissue cells. It may be used to assess whether a tumour expresses these hormone receptors, particularly in breast tissue samples. ER/PR status can help healthcare professionals understand tumour characteristics and support decisions about further evaluation and potential treatment options. Results are interpreted together with the tissue findings and other clinical information.
