What is Immunohistochemistry -TTF1?
This immunohistochemistry test examines tissue samples to detect the presence of Thyroid Transcription Factor 1 (TTF1) protein. By using special antibodies, it helps identify specific proteins within cells, providing crucial information about tissue characteristics.
Why is this test important?
Detecting TTF1 is primarily used to determine the primary site of origin for metastatic tumors, especially distinguishing lung adenocarcinomas and thyroid carcinomas from other cancers. This information is critical for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
How to Prepare
No special preparation is required for this test. The analysis is performed on a tissue sample that has already been collected.
