About test
What does IHC - HMB - 45 - (Outlab) measure?
HMB-45 is an immunohistochemistry (IHC) marker used to detect proteins commonly expressed by melanocytic cells. It may help healthcare professionals evaluate tissue findings when melanoma or other melanocytic lesions are being considered. The test can also support distinction between certain tumour types when interpreted with microscopic examination and other IHC markers. Results are assessed by a pathologist in the context of clinical history and imaging findings.
