Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Interpretation Workshop

Training Overview

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Interpretation Workshop is a comprehensive educational program designed to strengthen the theoretical knowledge, interpretative skills, and diagnostic confidence of healthcare professionals involved in histopathology and diagnostic pathology practices. Hosted at the ADN CoE Training, Research Center & Core Lab, this two-day program integrates structured theoretical education with case-based learning, focusing on the principles and clinical applications of immunohistochemistry.

The course covers core topics including IHC principles, antibody selection, staining patterns, internal and external controls, and interpretation of common immunohistochemical markers used in surgical pathology. Emphasis is placed on accurate marker interpretation, differential diagnosis, and clinicopathological correlation across a wide range of disease entities.

Through expert-led lectures and structured case discussions, participants review real-world IHC cases, enhancing their understanding of staining results and their impact on diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic decision-making. Training is delivered by experienced pathologists and diagnostic experts, reinforcing best practices and quality standards in IHC interpretation.

In addition to core sessions, the program includes discussions on reporting standards, quality assurance, pre-analytical and analytical variables, common pitfalls, and integration of IHC findings into multidisciplinary diagnostic workflows. Case-based sessions address challenges frequently encountered in routine immunohistochemistry practice.

By the end of the program, participants will have enhanced their ability to accurately interpret IHC results and apply them effectively in clinical and laboratory diagnostic settings.
