## What is SoS IHC?

This app is designed to provide a handy reference in diagnostic immunohistochemistry during daily sign-out   for both practicing pathologists and trainees. IHC stains are used routinely in daily practice, but the extensive IHC literature in textbooks and online resources can be hard to access and navigate. This easy to use app allows for selection of appropriate IHC stain panels in an algorithmic work-up of tumors. This release provides the most up-to-date information on individual tumor IHC profiles and antibodies. Clinically relevant molecular pathology information is also included for some tumors.

### 5/5 — Twisha Oza, M.D.

*2021-07-23*

The app is very convenient and useful in my daily practice.
It’s well illustrated and has a systemic approach.

### 4/5 — Well-done, needs update though.

*2020-07-11, version 7.7*

Quite helpful. My residents like it. Needs update.

### 3/5 — Useful aid, could be better

*2017-01-13, version 2.0*

Needs search function and some errors (eg  cd56 and cd57 are mixed up)

### 3/5 — Could use an update

*2015-04-07, version 2.0*

The app itself works fine and the outline is simple and intuitive, permitting a quick access to relevant information in times of need.

The content, however, is tailored to the practice of a particular pathology center (or at least seems like that). As of date, many of the antibodies we use on a daily basis are not included in the antibody index, and differential algorithms do not completely match the reference books.

### 5/5 — EXCELLENT

*2015-01-13*

Excellent idea. Very helpful!!

### 5/5 — Great pathology app!

*2014-12-25*

Finally an app for pathologists that makes sense. I find this app extremely helpful both in my daily practice as well as during tumor boards. IHC in surgical pathology is very diverse and requires multiple markers both for diagnostic and prognostic purposes. This app is an extremely efficient way of having all the required information handy.

### 5/5 — Must-have app for surgical pathologists

*2014-05-27*

This app contains a plethora of immunohistochemical nuggets. The format is intuitive, visually appealing and transitions fluidly. The information is current, accurate, well-organized and practical. It offers useful and pertinent immunohistochemical positives and negatives, as well as key molecular diagnostic information, for numerous entities. Helpful IHC panels, including cancers of unknown primary, are also provided. There is also a section dedicated to "pearls and pitfalls" as well as IHC algorithms in the metastatic setting or when dealing with entities such small round blue cell tumors...and much, much more. It is a handy and useful supplement to any surgical pathology practice.
