The IHC – CD5 test is a laboratory technique used to detect the presence of the CD5 protein on the surface of cells in a tissue sample. CD5 is a marker commonly found on certain types of T-cells and some B-cell lymphomas.
This test involves staining the tissue with antibodies against CD5 to help identify and classify specific types of lymphomas and other hematologic (blood-related) disorders. It provides important diagnostic and prognostic information.

    1. Diagnose Lymphomas:
    o Differentiate between types of lymphomas, such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or mantle cell lymphoma.
    2. Classify Lymphoid Cells:
    o Determine the cell lineage (T-cell vs B-cell) in lymphoid malignancies.
    3. Guide Treatment Decisions:
    o Helps oncologists decide on the best treatment strategy based on lymphoma type.
    4. Evaluate Tissue Samples:
    o Confirm the presence and extent of disease in biopsies.

    Preparation:

    • Patient Preparation:
    o No special preparation is required by the patient since this test is performed on a tissue biopsy sample already collected.
    • Sample Collection:
    o A tissue biopsy is obtained via surgery or needle biopsy and sent to the pathology lab for analysis.
    • Information for Lab:
    o Provide clinical history and relevant details to the pathologist to aid interpretation.
