What is PDL1 (Immunotherapy) Test?

This test detects the presence of PDL1 on cancer cells. PDL1 is a protein that aids in the prevention of immune cells attacking non-harmful cells in the body. Normally, the immune system defends against foreign substances such as viruses and bacteria rather than your own healthy cells. PDL1 is abundant in some cancer cells. This allows cancer cells to "trick" the immune system into thinking they are foreign, harmful substances and thus avoid being attacked.

Other Names:

>>Immunohistochemistry of programmed death-ligand 1, PD-LI, and PDL-1 (IHC)

What is the procedure for PDL1 (Immunotherapy) Test?

The majority of PDL1 tests are performed as part of a biopsy. Biopsy procedures are classified into three types:

• Fine needle aspiration biopsy, which involves extracting a sample of cells or fluid with a very thin needle.
• Core needle biopsy, in which a larger needle is used to extract a sample
• A surgical biopsy is a minor outpatient procedure that removes a sample.

How does one prepare for the test? 

If you are having local anaesthesia, no special preparations are required (numbing of the biopsy site). If you are having general anaesthesia, you will most likely be required to fast (not eat or drink) for several hours prior to surgery. More specific instructions will be provided by your surgeon.
