ICC has numerous applications in cancer: - Diagnosis: ICC can help identify the type of cancer by detecting specific markers that are characteristic of certain cancer cells. - Prognosis: The presence or absence of particular proteins can provide prognostic information, indicating how aggressive a cancer might be. - Treatment Planning: By revealing the molecular profile of a tumor, ICC can help in selecting targeted therapies that are more likely to be effective. - Research: ICC is used extensively in cancer research to study the biology of cancer cells, including their growth, differentiation, and response to treatments.
