Description
Examination of tissue cells utilizing special reagents.
It is performed only in the presence of a prepared micropreparation on a glass slide and a tissue sample in a paraffin block, as well as a histological conclusion for them.
Performing any immunohistochemical examination (IHC) requires a preliminary assessment of the histological picture by a pathologist, for which a routine histological examination of the material is first performed. The obtained data allow selecting the necessary IHC methodology, types of antibodies used, and formulating the final histological diagnosis. (Preliminary examination 12-065 "Consultation of biopsy (surgical) material of any complexity group (based on prepared material, 1 slide)" is not required if this is an additional order to histology previously performed at Helix, as a result of which IHC is recommended).
