An update on the use of immunohistochemistry and molecular pathology in the diagnosis of pre-invasive and malignant lesions in gynecological oncology

Immunohistochemistry is useful as an objective means for improved diagnostic reproducibility, accuracy, and precise classification in cases where the diagnosis with histochemical stains is inconclusive, providing a more reliable estimate of clinical outcomes. The diagnosis, in some cases, can be further refined by the use of molecular techniques leading to personalised medical treatments.
