What does IHC - EMA - (Outlab) measure?
This immunohistochemistry (IHC) test detects epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) in tissue cells. EMA is a marker commonly expressed in many epithelial tissues and certain tumors. The test may help healthcare professionals assess the origin and type of abnormal cells, support differentiation between tumor types, and provide additional information when evaluating tissue biopsy findings. Results are interpreted together with microscopic appearance, other marker tests, and the person’s clinical history.
