What is IHC MMR?
IHC MMR stands for Immunohistochemistry for Mismatch Repair proteins. This test examines tissue samples to check for the presence and function of specific proteins involved in DNA repair, which are crucial for maintaining genetic stability.
Why is this test important?
It is primarily used in the diagnosis and management of certain cancers, especially colorectal and endometrial cancers. Abnormalities in MMR proteins can indicate a higher risk of hereditary cancer syndromes like Lynch syndrome, guiding further genetic testing and targeted treatment.
How to Prepare
This test requires a tissue sample, typically obtained through a biopsy procedure. Your doctor will provide specific instructions regarding the biopsy.
