What does cervical immunohistochemistry mean?

Immunohistochemistry is an examination method to assist in the diagnosis of diseases and evaluate the characteristics of lesions by detecting specific antibodies in cervical tissues.

Immunohistochemistry can help to more accurately identify the type and nature of cervical lesions. For example, for some morphologically atypical lesions, immunohistochemical markers can clarify the cell origin and characteristics, thus helping to distinguish benign and malignant lesions.

Moreover, it can provide information about the proliferation activity and invasiveness of the diseased cells, which can help to judge the severity and prognosis of the lesions. For example, some immunohistochemical indicators can reflect the growth rate of tumor cells and the potential risk of metastasis.

In addition, according to the results of immunohistochemistry, it can provide important evidence for the formulation of clinical treatment plans. Different immunohistochemical characteristics may indicate the sensitivity or resistance to specific treatment methods, thus helping to select the most appropriate treatment.
