Test Details
The WT-1 immunohistochemistry test is a diagnostic tool used in pathology to detect the presence of the WT-1 protein in tissue samples. WT-1 stands for Wilms tumor 1, which is a transcription factor that plays a crucial role in kidney development.
The test is commonly used in the evaluation of renal tumors, specifically Wilms tumor, a type of kidney cancer that primarily affects children. It can also be used in the diagnosis of other types of tumors, such as mesothelioma and ovarian cancer, as WT-1 expression has been found in these malignancies as well.
The immunohistochemistry technique involves staining tissue sections with specific antibodies that target the WT-1 protein. The antibodies bind to the protein if it is present in the tissue sample, allowing pathologists to visualize and quantify the expression of WT-1.
The results of the WT-1 immunohistochemistry test can help in the differential diagnosis of various tumors and aid in treatment planning. High levels of WT-1 expression in tumor cells may indicate a more aggressive tumor phenotype and may influence the choice of therapy.
It is important to note that the WT-1 immunohistochemistry test is just one component of a comprehensive diagnostic workup. It should be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical and pathological findings to make an accurate diagnosis.
