Cancer diagnostics often begin with a biopsy and histopathologic examination, from the basis of physical examination and medical history. Sometimes the first indication is an abnormal laboratory test result (eg, anemia resulting from colon cancer).

Cancer cells can acquire immune resistance resulting in a loss of immunosurveillance. Tumor cells can upregulate PDL-1 which binds to PD-1. This complex inhibits CD8 Tumor Infiltrating cells...
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is used to determine spatial relationships where we can identify the localization of target proteins in specific regions and cells of a tissue. IHC has been the go...
Multiplexing IHC is a technique that is increasing in demand as more and more researchers and physicians are being tasked with doing more with less. With multiplexing, you have the advantage...
Patient laboratory test results are significantly over-represented in electronic medical records, but significantly under-utilized in research. An important application of laboratory data is...
