Service Providers for PAX8
PAX8 is a test used to detect the PAX8 protein, which is typically expressed in tumors of the thyroid, kidney, and female reproductive organs. Preparation involves no specific requirements, but the test is usually done on tissue samples from biopsies or surgical specimens. During the test, the tissue is stained to identify the presence of the PAX8 protein. Risks are minimal, as the test is performed on collected tissue. Results show whether the PAX8 protein is present, helping in cancer diagnosis. Conditions like certain cancers or previous treatments can affect the interpretation of results.
