Academic Press Handbook of Immunohistochemistry and ISH

Modern pathology has moved beyond classical histology through the application of immunohistochemistry. By using specific antibodies to stain molecular species in situ, clinicians can now identify a much wider range of cell types. This is particularly effective for studying the immune system and hormone-secreting cells within the endocrine system. This comprehensive handbook by Academic Press covers the essential aspects of immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization technologies. It focuses on their application in reaching accurate cancer diagnoses, specifically regarding molecular genetics, gastrointestinal carcinoma, and ovarian carcinoma. Designed for medical professionals and researchers, the text provides practical, step-by-step instructions on various methods. This resource serves as a technical guide for understanding how these advanced technologies support the diagnostic process in oncology and molecular pathology.
