What does this test Her 2 Gastric Tissue Test Immunohistochemistry identify?

This test identifies the presence of Her 2 protein in gastric tissue samples using Immunohistochemistry (IHC) technique. Her 2 protein is a receptor that promotes cell growth and division, and its overexpression has been linked to more aggressive forms of gastric cancer. The IHC test involves staining the tissue sample with specific antibodies that bind to Her 2 protein, allowing for its visualization under a microscope.

Why is this test Her 2 Gastric Tissue Test Immunohistochemistry taken?

Her 2 Gastric Tissue Test Immunohistochemistry

Reason for Taking the Test

The Her 2 Gastric Tissue Test Immunohistochemistry is taken to determine the level of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her 2) protein in gastric tissue samples. This test is important for several reasons:

  • Guide Treatment: The presence of Her 2 protein in gastric tissue can help guide treatment decisions. Patients with Her 2 positive tumors may benefit from targeted therapies that specifically target this protein.
  • Prognosis: Her 2 status can also provide important prognostic information. Patients with Her 2 positive tumors may have a different prognosis compared to those with Her 2 negative tumors.
  • Personalized Medicine: The Her 2 Gastric Tissue Test Immunohistochemistry allows for personalized medicine by identifying patients who are likely to respond to Her 2 targeted therapies.
  • Clinical Trials: Her 2 status may also be important for enrolling patients in clinical trials evaluating new treatments for gastric cancer.
