The GATA 3 test is an immunohistochemistry (IHC) or molecular test used to detect the expression of the GATA3 protein, which is a marker for certain cancers, including breast and urothelial carcinoma.
It is used to aid in cancer diagnosis and classification, particularly in distinguishing breast cancer from other types of carcinomas.
A tissue biopsy sample is stained and analyzed for GATA3 protein expression.
Positive staining suggests the presence of cancers that express GATA3, while negative staining may indicate other cancer types.
Results help pathologists and oncologists determine the best treatment approach, including targeted therapies.
