Find Clarity in Your Cancer Diagnosis Journey
When facing cancer concerns, uncertainty can be overwhelming. The Immunohistochemistry CD117 Test provides the precise answers you and your healthcare team need to make informed treatment decisions. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the emotional weight of cancer testing and are here to support you with compassionate, accurate diagnostics.
Understanding Your CD117 Test
The CD117 test is an advanced immunohistochemistry procedure that detects specific protein markers (CD117 or c-KIT) in tissue samples. Think of it as a highly specialised detective that identifies crucial clues about your cancer cells – information that directly influences which treatments will be most effective for your specific condition.
This test is particularly vital for diagnosing and managing gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST), mast cell diseases, and certain types of leukaemia. By pinpointing these specific markers, your oncologist can recommend targeted therapies that work more effectively with fewer side effects.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test provides essential information for:
- Patients with suspected GIST tumours experiencing abdominal pain, bleeding, or digestive issues
- Individuals with abnormal growths or tumours requiring precise classification
- Patients needing treatment guidance for targeted therapy decisions
- Those with mast cell disorders or certain blood cancers
- Anyone requiring confirmation of cancer type for optimal treatment planning
If your doctor has mentioned the need for tumour marker testing or you’re navigating cancer treatment options, this test could provide the clarity you need.
Why This Test Matters for Your Health
Early and accurate cancer diagnosis can significantly impact treatment success and quality of life. The CD117 test offers:
- Precise Diagnosis: Confirms specific cancer types for targeted treatment
- Treatment Guidance: Helps determine if targeted therapies will be effective
- Peace of Mind: Provides clear answers during uncertain times
- Personalised Care: Enables treatment plans tailored to your specific cancer
- Monitoring Capability: Can track treatment response over time
Understanding Your Results
We know waiting for test results can be anxiety-provoking. Our team provides clear, comprehensive reports that your oncologist will discuss with you:
- Positive CD117: Indicates the presence of specific protein markers, often guiding targeted therapy options
- Negative CD117: Helps rule out certain cancer types, directing investigation toward other possibilities
- Detailed Analysis: Our pathologists provide thorough explanations your doctor can use for treatment planning
Remember, your results are just one piece of your complete medical picture – your healthcare team will interpret them in context with your overall health.
