IHC (Immunohistochemical markers) reveals more than a standard biopsy test. It enables pathologists to determine the exact type and subtype of cancer by looking for unique markers within cancer cells. Markers are identified using antibodies, a type of protein that locates and binds with antigens (which are the markers found on cells). Calcitonin is a hormone involved in calcium metabolism. Staining for calcitonin produces fine granular, cytoplasmic staining of C cells of thyroid, medullary thyroid carcinomas, many atypical laryngeal carcinoids, and other neuroendocrine tumors. Amyloid deposits within medullary thyroid carcinoma may also exhibit varying degrees of calcitonin immunoreactivity.
