Androgen Receptor (AR) by IHC near me in Pune

The Androgen Receptor (AR) by IHC test is used to detect the presence and distribution of androgen receptors in tissue samples. Androgen receptors are proteins that bind to male hormones like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone, playing a key role in the development and progression of certain cancers, especially prostate cancer and some subtypes of breast cancer. Detecting AR expression can help determine whether the tumor is likely to respond to hormone-based therapies such as androgen deprivation treatment. This test is commonly used in cases where hormone receptor status may influence prognosis or therapeutic decisions. It is performed using immunohistochemistry (IHC), a method that uses specific antibodies to highlight the presence of the receptor protein within the tumor tissue. By identifying AR expression, the test contributes valuable information for personalized treatment planning and ongoing disease management.
