What does this test CD117 / C-Kit Test Immunohistochemistry identify?

CD117 / C-Kit Test Immunohistochemistry

The CD117 / C-Kit Test Immunohistochemistry is used to identify the presence of the CD117 protein, also known as C-Kit, in tissue samples. CD117 is a cell surface receptor that is commonly found on the surface of certain types of cells, including stem cells, mast cells, and some types of cancer cells.

This test is commonly used to diagnose and classify certain types of cancers, such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and some types of leukemia. The presence of CD117 can help pathologists determine the origin and type of cancer cells present in a tissue sample, which can guide treatment decisions and prognosis.

Why is this test CD117 / C-Kit Test Immunohistochemistry taken?

The CD117 / C-Kit Test Immunohistochemistry is taken to detect the presence of CD117 protein, also known as C-Kit, in tissue samples. CD117 is a cell surface receptor that is commonly found on the surface of certain types of cells, including stem cells and mast cells.

This test is often used in the diagnosis of certain types of cancers, such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), which commonly have mutations in the gene that encodes for CD117. By detecting the presence of CD117 in tissue samples, healthcare providers can determine the appropriate treatment options for patients with these types of cancers.
