What is PD-L1 (22C3) Dako CPS (IHC)?

This test measures the amount of PD-L1 protein on tumor cells and immune cells using a specific antibody (22C3) and a scoring system called Combined Positive Score (CPS). It helps doctors understand if certain immunotherapy treatments might be effective for cancer patients.

Why is this test important?

PD-L1 testing is vital for guiding treatment decisions in various cancers, particularly non-small cell lung cancer, gastric cancer, and esophageal cancer. A higher CPS score often indicates a greater likelihood of response to specific immunotherapies.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required. This test is performed on a tissue sample typically obtained through a biopsy.
