Breast cancer - does having immunohistochemistry mean you have cancer?

If doctors request for immunohistochemistry (IHC) that mean they have see something like cancer?

  • Hi Clara1210, 

    I am not sure myself what it means if doctors have requested an immunohistochemistry and I hope that you will hear from other members of our community who have had that before and that they will be able to tell you more about their experience. 

    I would also suggest you give our cancer nurses a call on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their helpline is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and they will be happy I am sure to tell you more about this and answer questions you may have. 

    Best wishes,
