What is Immunohistochemistry -CEA?
The CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen) immunohistochemistry test identifies CEA protein in a tissue sample. CEA is a protein that can be found in various tissues, and its presence or absence helps pathologists characterize certain types of tumors, particularly adenocarcinomas.
Why is this test important?
CEA staining is widely used to identify adenocarcinomas, especially those originating from the gastrointestinal tract, lung, and breast. It helps determine the primary site of a metastatic tumor and differentiate adenocarcinomas from other tumor types, aiding in diagnosis and treatment.
