What is Immunohistochemistry -S100?

This test uses immunohistochemistry to detect S100 proteins in a tissue sample. S100 proteins are often found in specific types of cells, making this test valuable for identifying certain tumors, especially those originating from skin or nerve tissues.

Why is this test important?

The Immunohistochemistry - S100 test is widely used in the diagnosis of melanoma (a type of skin cancer) and neural tumors. It helps pathologists confirm the presence of these cancers and differentiate them from other conditions.
