Q. What is Immunohistochemistry?

A.Immunohistochemistry or IHC refers to the process of detecting antigens (e.g., proteins) in cells of a tissue section by exploiting the principle of antibodies binding specifically to antigens in biological tissues.

Q. Why do we need to undergo Immunohistochemistry test?

A. - Confirm a pathologic diagnosis

      - Differentiate between benign or malignant tumor

      - Detect among different types of tumor

      - Monitor prognosis response to treatment

Increased ERCC1 expression has been shown to predict cisplatin resistance and therefore decreased survival in gastric, ovarian, esophageal, colorectal cancers, and NSCLC. This is consistent with the role of ERCC1 in the repair of modified nucleotides, specifically increased removal of cisplatinum-induced DNA adducts.
