What is Immunohistochemistry -DOG-1?

The Immunohistochemistry - DOG-1 test is performed on a tissue sample to detect the DOG-1 protein, a highly specific marker. This test is crucial for identifying particular types of tumors, especially those originating in the gastrointestinal tract.

Why is this test important?

DOG-1 is an essential marker for the diagnosis of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST), helping to distinguish them from other similar-looking tumors. Accurate identification of GIST is vital for selecting the most effective treatment plan, including targeted therapies.
