What does this test Amacr (P504S) Test Immunohistochemistry identify?

The Amacr (P504S) Test Immunohistochemistry is used to identify the presence of Alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase (AMACR) in tissue samples. AMACR is an enzyme that plays a role in fatty acid metabolism and is overexpressed in certain types of cancer, particularly prostate cancer. The test involves staining tissue samples with antibodies that specifically target AMACR, allowing for visualization of the enzyme's presence under a microscope. This test is commonly used in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer, as well as other types of cancer where AMACR may be overexpressed.

Why is this test Amacr (P504S) Test Immunohistochemistry taken?

Why is the Amacr (P504S) Test Immunohistochemistry taken?

The Amacr (P504S) Test Immunohistochemistry is taken to help diagnose prostate cancer. Alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase (AMACR) is an enzyme that is often overexpressed in prostate cancer cells. By performing immunohistochemistry to detect the presence and level of AMACR in tissue samples, doctors can determine if prostate cancer is present and assess its aggressiveness.

This test is especially useful in cases where traditional methods such as biopsy or imaging are inconclusive. It can also help differentiate between benign prostate conditions and cancerous growths, aiding in the selection of appropriate treatment options.
