CD138 is a protein present on plasma cells in the bone marrow, and on certain epithelial cells. The protein is useful to diagnose any neoplasms (tumors) growing in plasma cells. If a patient is to be tested for cancer, CD138 stains can be used to spot tumor cells. The test, called Immunohistochemistry, involves obtaining a tissue specimen from the patient, and staining it with the CD138 stain. Depending on a positive or negative stain, the tumors can be classified as myelomas, lymphomas or carcinomas. If CD138 positive: Indicates Myeloma (plasma cell cancer) Or indicates Lymphoma (Lymphatic System Cancer) If CD138 negative: Usually indicates carcinomas (epithelial CE cancer) Directs towards other stains
