What is Immunohistochemistry -MDM2?

The MDM2 test checks for the presence and amount of the MDM2 protein in a tissue sample. This protein can be overactive in certain types of tumors, influencing their growth.

Why is this test important?

MDM2 overexpression is a key diagnostic marker for specific soft tissue tumors, such as atypical lipomatous tumors and liposarcomas. It helps differentiate these tumors from benign fatty lesions, ensuring correct diagnosis and management.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
