cancer subtyping

How is Cancer Subtyped?

Cancer can be subtyped using various methods, including:
Histopathology: Examining the tissue under a microscope to determine the cancer type and grade.
Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Using antibodies to detect specific proteins in the cancer cells, which can indicate certain subtypes.
Genetic Profiling: Analyzing the DNA and RNA of the cancer cells to identify mutations, gene expressions, and other molecular characteristics.
Imaging Techniques: Advanced imaging methods can sometimes help in subtyping by revealing specific features of the tumor.
