What is Immunohistochemistry -INI-1?

This test uses special antibodies to look for the INI-1 protein in a tissue sample. It helps doctors identify specific types of tumors by checking if this protein is present or absent in the cells.

Why is this test important?

Loss of INI-1 protein expression is a key indicator for diagnosing certain rare but aggressive cancers, such as rhabdoid tumors. It helps differentiate these tumors from others, guiding appropriate treatment strategies.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
