What does this test BRAF V600E Test Immunohistochemistry identify?

The BRAF V600E Test Immunohistochemistry helps identify a specific mutation in the BRAF gene known as V600E. This mutation is commonly found in various cancers, including melanoma, colorectal cancer, and thyroid cancer. Detecting the BRAF V600E mutation can help guide treatment decisions, as patients with this mutation may benefit from targeted therapies that specifically target this mutant protein.

Why is this test BRAF V600E Test Immunohistochemistry taken?

  • Reason for Test:

    The BRAF V600E Test Immunohistochemistry is taken to detect the presence of the BRAF V600E mutation in cancer cells. This mutation is commonly found in certain types of cancer, such as melanoma and colorectal cancer. Identifying this mutation can help in determining the most appropriate treatment options for the patient.

Popular FAQs on Test

The BRAF V600E Test Immunohistochemistry is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of the BRAF V600E mutation in tissue samples. This mutation is commonly found in certain types of cancer, including melanoma and colorectal cancer.
The BRAF V600E Test Immunohistochemistry is performed to help guide treatment decisions for patients with cancer. Detection of the BRAF V600E mutation can indicate whether a patient is a candidate for targeted therapy with BRAF inhibitors.
The test is performed on a tissue sample obtained through a biopsy or surgery. The tissue sample is stained with antibodies that specifically target the BRAF V600E mutation, allowing the pathologist to visualize its presence under a microscope.
The test itself is low-risk, as it involves analyzing a tissue sample in a laboratory setting. However, there are risks associated with the biopsy or surgery required to obtain the tissue sample, such as bleeding, infection, or damage to surrounding tissues.
The turnaround time for the test results can vary depending on the laboratory performing the analysis. In general, results are typically available within a few days to a week.
