Abstract
Immunohistochemical stains are crucial ancillary study methods utilized by surgical pathologists. This role is expanding in modern practice, as they are not only used to confirm and type tumors but also predict the response of therapeutic agents and the prognosis of the disease. This chapter presents commonly used immunohistochemical stains and discusses their importance as an adjunct study in surgical pathology.
