Find Clarity in Your Cancer Diagnosis Journey
When you’re facing the uncertainty of a suspicious tissue growth or biopsy result, the waiting and wondering can feel overwhelming. The Immunohistochemistry Epithelial Membrane Antigen (EMA) test is here to provide the definitive answers you need to move forward with confidence. This specialised test helps identify specific cancer markers that guide your treatment team in creating the most effective care plan for your unique situation.
Understanding Your EMA Test: What It Detects
The EMA test uses advanced immunohistochemistry technology to detect Epithelial Membrane Antigen proteins in your tissue samples. These proteins serve as important markers that help pathologists distinguish between different types of cancers and determine the exact nature of your condition. Think of it as a highly specialised detective that identifies specific cellular signatures, providing crucial information that directly impacts your treatment options and prognosis.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Recent biopsy results that require further clarification
- Suspicious tissue growths that need precise identification
- Previous cancer diagnosis requiring confirmation or subtyping
- Treatment planning that depends on specific cancer markers
- Recurrent symptoms that suggest possible cancer involvement
Many South African patients find this test provides the missing piece in their diagnostic puzzle, helping them and their doctors make confident decisions about next steps.

Getting the right diagnosis early can significantly impact your treatment success and peace of mind. The EMA test offers:
- Precise Diagnosis: Identifies specific cancer types for targeted treatment
