Abstract

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) has emerged as a crucial tool in diagnosing and managing ovarian cancer, offering invaluable insights into tumor biology and guiding therapeutic decisions. The intricate histopathological landscape of ovarian cancer presents challenges in accurate diagnosis and classification. IHC offers a complementary approach, aiding in the characterization of tumor subtypes, prognostication, and prediction of treatment response. By targeting specific biomarkers, IHC enables the identification of diverse histological features and molecular alterations associated with ovarian malignancies. The integration of IHC into routine diagnostic workflows enhances diagnostic accuracy, aids in the subclassification of ovarian tumors, and facilitates personalized treatment strategies. Emphasis is placed on the judicious selection of antibody panels tailored to specific clinical scenarios, ensuring optimal utilization of resources and minimizing diagnostic pitfalls. Overall, this review underscores the pivotal role of IHC in refining the diagnosis, prognostication, and management of ovarian cancer, highlighting its significance in the era of precision medicine. By leveraging the molecular insights provided by IHC, clinicians and pathologists can optimize patient care and improve outcomes in ovarian cancer management.
