What is Immunohistochemistry -Arginase-1?
This test uses immunohistochemistry to detect the presence of Arginase-1 in tissue samples. Arginase-1 is an enzyme primarily found in the liver, and its presence in other tissues can be an indicator for specific conditions.
Why is this test important?
Arginase-1 immunohistochemistry is primarily used in the differential diagnosis of liver lesions, particularly to distinguish hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from other types of liver tumors or metastatic cancers. It helps in accurate tumor classification.
