Finding Clarity in Your Cancer Diagnosis Journey
When facing concerns about skin lesions or nerve tissue abnormalities, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. The SOX-10 immunohistochemistry test provides the precise answers you need to move forward with confidence. At Oracle Genomics, we understand that every day matters when it comes to your health, which is why we’ve made this advanced diagnostic test accessible and affordable across South Africa.
Understanding Your SOX-10 Test
The SOX-10 test is a specialised immunohistochemistry examination that helps pathologists identify specific proteins in your tissue sample. Think of it as a highly accurate molecular detective that can distinguish between different types of cells with remarkable precision. This test is particularly valuable for detecting melanoma (skin cancer) and tumours arising from nerve tissue.
Using advanced laboratory techniques, our expert pathologists apply specific antibodies that bind only to SOX-10 proteins present in certain cancer cells. This creates a clear visual marker that helps confirm or rule out specific diagnoses, providing your healthcare team with the critical information needed for proper treatment planning.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these concerns, the SOX-10 test could provide essential answers:
- Unexplained skin lesions or moles that have changed in appearance
- Suspicious growths that your doctor has identified as potentially cancerous
- Previous biopsy results that require additional clarification
- Family history of melanoma or nerve tissue cancers
- Monitoring of previously treated cancer for recurrence
Many South Africans put off testing due to cost concerns or fear of results. At ZAR 1,200, we’ve made this crucial test affordable because your peace of mind shouldn’t come with financial stress.
