Orderable Test Description
ERG oncoprotein expression has been shown to be a highly specific marker for prostate cancer. Given the lack of ERG expression in a wide variety of normal epithelial tissues and tumors, detection of ERG by IHC is a valuable tool for diagnosing prostate cancer or determining prostatic origin. ERG is also a highly specific and sensitive marker of endothelial cells and vascular tumors.
