HBME-1 is an immunohistochemistry (IHC) marker used in pathology to identify malignancies, especially in thyroid carcinomas.
It helps distinguish between benign and malignant thyroid lesions, particularly follicular and papillary thyroid cancers.
A biopsy or surgical tissue specimen is required for IHC staining in a pathology lab.
Positive HBME-1 staining supports a diagnosis of malignancy. It is interpreted in context with other markers and histological features.
No specific preparation is needed. Ensure tissue handling and fixation protocols are appropriately followed.
