The NTRK IHC test detects the expression of neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) proteins in tumors using immunohistochemistry (IHC). NTRK gene fusions are associated with certain cancers.
This test is recommended for:
- Patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
- Individuals with tumors that are unresponsive to standard therapies.
A tissue biopsy is collected, and IHC staining is used to assess the presence of NTRK protein expression.
- Positive Result: Suggests the presence of NTRK gene fusion, indicating eligibility for targeted therapies.
- Negative Result: Suggests no detectable NTRK protein expression.
NTRK-positive tumors may respond to targeted therapies such as TRK inhibitors, improving treatment outcomes.
