A specialized analysis to evaluate tumor spread and metastasis potential, helping doctors predict cancer behavior and choose the most effective treatment plan.
Scientific name: Immunohistochemistry: E-Cadherin
Immunohistochemistry for E-Cadherin aims to detect this essential membrane protein for adherens junctions between epithelial cells. E-Cadherin is a key marker for maintaining tissue cohesion, and the loss of its expression is associated with increased cancer cell invasion and migration (epithelial-mesenchymal transition), which is crucial in classi...

Conditions & Notices
- Fasting is not required, as the sample is a histological sample (biopsy).
- The biopsy sample must be immediately preserved in 10% formalin to maintain the intercellular junctions.
