What is Immunohistochemistry -Mammaglobin?

This test looks for the mammaglobin protein in a tissue sample. Mammaglobin is typically found in breast cells, and its presence can help identify if a cancer originated from breast tissue.

Why is this test important?

Mammaglobin is a valuable marker for confirming the breast origin of metastatic tumors, particularly when the primary cancer site is unknown. It aids in accurate diagnosis, which is crucial for guiding targeted treatment for breast cancer.

How to Prepare
