Find Clarity About Vascular Health with CD31 Testing
When you’re facing concerns about unusual growths or vascular abnormalities, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. The Immunohistochemistry CD31 Test provides the definitive answers you need to move forward with confidence. This specialised test helps identify specific markers in vascular tissues, giving you and your healthcare team the critical information required for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
Understanding Your CD31 Test
The CD31 test uses advanced immunohistochemistry technology to detect specific proteins (CD31 markers) that are present in endothelial cells – the cells that line your blood vessels. This isn’t just another lab test; it’s a precise diagnostic tool that helps distinguish between different types of tumours, particularly those involving blood vessels. Think of it as a highly specific “molecular fingerprint” that tells doctors exactly what type of tissue they’re dealing with, which is crucial for determining the right treatment approach.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your loved one is experiencing:
- Unexplained lumps or growths that may be vascular in nature
- Suspected vascular tumours identified during other examinations
- Need for precise classification of tumour type for treatment planning
- Follow-up monitoring of known vascular conditions
- Concerns about angiogenesis-related diseases
Many South Africans put off testing due to anxiety, but early and accurate diagnosis can make all the difference in treatment outcomes.
Why This Test Matters for Your Health Journey
Getting the right diagnosis early can significantly impact your treatment success and quality of life. The CD31 test provides:
- Precise Diagnosis: Eliminates guesswork about tumour type
- Treatment Guidance: Helps oncologists choose the most effective therapies
