About test
What does IHC - E-Cadherin - (Outlab) measure?
This immunohistochemistry (IHC) test evaluates E-cadherin, a protein involved in cell-to-cell adhesion, in tissue cells. It may be used to assess the pattern of E-cadherin expression in certain cancers, particularly breast and gastric tumours. The findings can help healthcare professionals distinguish between tumour types or support evaluation of tumour characteristics when interpreted along with tissue appearance, other test results, and clinical information.
