What is Immunohistochemistry -GATA-3?

This test uses special antibodies to detect the GATA-3 protein in a tissue sample. GATA-3 is a marker commonly found in cells of the breast and urinary tract.

Why is this test important?

GATA-3 IHC is highly useful in diagnosing breast cancer and urothelial carcinoma (bladder cancer), especially when cancer has spread to other parts of the body. It helps identify the primary origin of metastatic tumors, which is crucial for guiding treatment decisions.
