Find Clarity in Your Cancer Diagnosis Journey
When you’re facing uncertainty about a potential cancer diagnosis, every piece of information matters. The Immunohistochemistry CD45 (LCA) Test provides the crucial answers you need to move forward with confidence and clarity. We understand the anxiety that comes with waiting for test results, which is why we’ve made this advanced diagnostic tool accessible and reliable for South African patients.
Understanding Your CD45 (LCA) Test
The CD45 test, also known as Leukocyte Common Antigen (LCA), is a specialised immunohistochemistry test that helps identify whether abnormal cells in your tissue sample originate from white blood cells. This distinction is vital because it helps differentiate between different types of cancers, particularly lymphomas and other tumours.
Think of CD45 as a cellular “ID card” – when cells test positive for CD45, it confirms they are blood cell-related, which guides your healthcare team toward the most appropriate treatment path.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your loved one is experiencing:
- Unexplained lymph node swelling that persists
- Abnormal blood cell counts in recent tests
- Unexplained fever, night sweats, or weight loss
- A recent biopsy showing abnormal cells requiring further classification
- Suspected lymphoma or leukaemia based on initial findings
If your doctor has recommended further testing after a biopsy, this test provides the detailed information needed for accurate diagnosis.
Why This Test Matters for Your Health
Getting the right diagnosis early can significantly impact your treatment success and quality of life. The CD45 test offers:
- Accurate Classification: Helps distinguish between different cancer types for targeted treatment
- Treatment Guidance: Provides essential information for oncologists to create effective treatment plans
- Peace of Mind: Reduces uncertainty and helps you understand exactly what you’re dealing with
- Time-Sensitive Answers: Fast results mean quicker decisions about your healthcare journey
Understanding Your Test Results
We know waiting for results can be stressful. Here’s what to expect:
Positive CD45 Result: Indicates the abnormal cells are likely from the blood cell lineage, suggesting lymphoma or leukaemia. This helps your medical team choose the most appropriate treatment approach.
Negative CD45 Result: Suggests the abnormal cells are not from blood cell origins, helping rule out certain types of cancers and guiding further investigation.
Your results will include detailed analysis from our expert pathologists, with clear explanations you can discuss with your healthcare provider.
