What does this test Cytokeratin 20 Test Immunohistochemistry identify?

The Cytokeratin 20 Test Immunohistochemistry identifies the presence of cytokeratin 20 protein in tissue samples. Cytokeratin 20 is a type of intermediate filament protein that is found in epithelial cells. This test is commonly used to help determine the origin of a tumor, as different types of tumors express different patterns of cytokeratin proteins. The presence or absence of cytokeratin 20 in a tissue sample can help pathologists differentiate between different types of cancers, such as colorectal cancer which typically expresses cytokeratin 20, and lung cancer which does not typically express this protein.

Why is this test Cytokeratin 20 Test Immunohistochemistry taken?

Why is the Cytokeratin 20 Test Immunohistochemistry taken?

The Cytokeratin 20 Test Immunohistochemistry is taken to identify the presence of specific proteins known as cytokeratin 20 in cells. Cytokeratins are a group of proteins that are found in the epithelial cells of various tissues in the body. Cytokeratin 20 is specifically expressed in certain types of epithelial cells, such as those found in the gastrointestinal tract and urothelial cells.

This test is commonly used to help diagnose and differentiate various types of cancers, especially those that arise from epithelial cells. By detecting the presence or absence of cytokeratin 20 in tissue samples, healthcare providers can better determine the origin of a tumor and make more accurate treatment decisions.

Overall, the Cytokeratin 20 Test Immunohistochemistry plays a crucial role in cancer diagnosis and treatment planning by providing important information about the type and origin of tumors.
