What is PDL1 (Ventana Roche SP263 Clone)?

The PDL1 test measures the presence of programmed death-ligand 1 protein on cancer cells or immune cells within a tissue sample. This protein plays a crucial role in the immune system's ability to recognize and fight cancer.

Why is this test important?

This test is vital for determining if a patient's cancer is likely to respond to certain types of immunotherapy. It helps doctors select the most effective treatment strategies by identifying tumors that may be susceptible to immune checkpoint inhibitors.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required for the lab test itself, as the sample is typically collected during a biopsy procedure.
