What is Immunohistochemistry -EMA?
The Immunohistochemistry - EMA test analyzes a tissue sample to detect Epithelial Membrane Antigen (EMA), a protein found on the surface of most epithelial cells. This test helps pathologists classify cells and identify their origin within the tissue.
Why is this test important?
EMA is a broad marker useful for diagnosing various carcinomas (cancers originating from epithelial cells) and differentiating them from non-epithelial tumors. It aids in confirming the epithelial nature of a tumor, which is essential for accurate diagnosis and subsequent treatment decisions.
