Find Clarity in Your Cancer Diagnosis Journey
When you’re facing the uncertainty of a tissue biopsy result, every moment feels like an eternity. The Immunohistochemistry Calretinin Test provides the definitive answers you need to move forward with confidence. At just ZAR 1,000, this advanced diagnostic tool brings peace of mind and clarity to your healthcare journey.
Understanding Your Calretinin Test
The Calretinin Test is a specialised immunohistochemistry examination that helps pathologists distinguish between different types of cancers. By detecting the presence of calretinin protein in your tissue sample, our experts can accurately identify whether cells are mesothelial in origin – crucial information for diagnosing conditions like mesothelioma and differentiating it from other cancers.
Think of it as a molecular fingerprint that reveals the true identity of suspicious cells, providing your medical team with the precise information needed to create the most effective treatment plan for your specific situation.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these situations, the Calretinin Test could provide critical answers:
- Recent tissue biopsy showing abnormal or suspicious cells
- History of asbestos exposure or environmental risk factors
- Unexplained fluid buildup in body cavities
- Persistent chest pain or breathing difficulties
- Need to distinguish between mesothelioma and lung cancer
- Previous inconclusive biopsy results requiring clarification
Early and accurate diagnosis significantly improves treatment outcomes and quality of life.
Why This Test Matters for Your Health
Getting the right diagnosis the first time saves precious time, reduces unnecessary treatments, and ensures you receive the most appropriate care from the start. The Calretinin Test provides:
- Definitive Diagnosis: Clear identification of cell types eliminates diagnostic uncertainty
- Treatment Precision: Enables targeted therapy based on accurate cancer classification

Understanding Your Test Results
Your results will clearly indicate whether calretinin is present in your tissue sample. A positive result typically suggests mesothelial origin, while a negative result helps rule out certain conditions. Our expert pathologists provide detailed explanations with your report, and we recommend discussing the findings with your oncologist or specialist who can explain what they mean for your specific situation and next steps.
Remember: Early detection and accurate diagnosis are your strongest allies in the fight against cancer.
