Test Overview: CD10 by Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of the CD10 protein (also called Common Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Antigen – CALLA) in tissue samples. It helps pathologists identify and classify certain types of cancers and hematologic disorders.
Why is this test done?
Assists in diagnosing specific lymphomas and leukemias
Helps classify tumors and differentiate cancer types
Supports identification of certain kidney, endometrial, and other tumors
Helps guide treatment planning and prognosis evaluation
Sample Required:
Tissue specimen / biopsy sample preserved for histopathological examination
Method:
Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
Preparation:
No special preparation is generally required
Benefits:
Supports accurate tumor classification
Helps distinguish between similar-looking cancers
Assists clinicians in selecting appropriate treatment strategies
Turnaround Time:
Usually depends on laboratory processing protocols
Note: Test interpretation should always be correlated with clinical history, imaging findings, and other pathology investigations.
Shopify short description: CD10 by IHC is an advanced diagnostic test that detects CD10 protein expression in tissue samples, aiding in cancer diagnosis, tumor classification, and treatment planning.
