IHC1 refers to immunohistochemistry testing, typically for estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and HER2 markers in breast cancer diagnosis and prognosis.
It helps determine hormone receptor status in breast cancer patients, which influences treatment decisions and prognosis.
A tissue sample, usually from a biopsy, is stained with antibodies and examined under a microscope to detect the presence of hormone receptors.
Positive ER/PR results indicate that the tumor is likely to respond to hormonal therapy. HER2 positivity may guide targeted treatment options.
No patient preparation is needed, but proper tissue handling is essential for accurate results.
