Test Details
The immunohistochemistry prostate specific antigen (PSA) test is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of PSA in prostate tissue samples. PSA is a protein produced by the cells of the prostate gland, and its levels can be elevated in conditions such as prostate cancer.
During the test, a small sample of prostate tissue, obtained through a biopsy or surgical procedure, is collected. The tissue sample is then processed and embedded in paraffin wax to create thin sections. These sections are placed on glass slides and treated with specific antibodies that bind to PSA. The antibodies are labeled with a dye or an enzyme that produces a visible color or reaction when it binds to PSA. This allows the pathologist to visualize the presence and distribution of PSA in the tissue sample under a microscope.
The immunohistochemistry PSA test helps in determining the presence and extent of prostate cancer within the tissue sample. It can also be used to differentiate between different types of prostate cancer and to assess the aggressiveness of the disease.
The test results are interpreted by a pathologist who examines the stained tissue sections and determines the amount and pattern of PSA expression. The results are usually reported as the percentage of PSA-positive cells or as a staining intensity score.
Overall, the immunohistochemistry PSA test is a valuable tool in the diagnosis and management of prostate cancer, providing important information about the presence and characteristics of the disease within the prostate tissue sample.
