Description
Examination of tissue cells, which is carried out using special reagents.
It is performed only if a ready-made microspecimen on a glass slide and a tissue sample in a paraffin block, as well as a histological conclusion for them, are available.
To conduct any immunohistochemical study (IHC), a preliminary assessment of the histological picture by a pathologist is required, for which a routine histological examination of the material is first performed. The obtained data allow choosing the necessary IHC technique, types of antibodies used, and formulating the final histological diagnosis. (Preliminary study 12-065 "Consultation of biopsy (surgical) material of any complexity group (based on finished 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).
