CD30 Immunohistochemistry Test: Your Path to Accurate Cancer Diagnosis
When facing concerns about lymphoma or other cancers, having clear, reliable diagnostic information is essential for your peace of mind and treatment planning. The CD30 Immunohistochemistry test provides that crucial clarity, helping your healthcare team make informed decisions about your care journey.
Understanding Your CD30 Test
The CD30 Immunohistochemistry test is a specialised laboratory procedure that detects the presence of CD30 protein markers in your tissue samples. Think of it as a highly precise molecular detective that identifies specific cancer signatures, particularly important for diagnosing certain types of lymphoma including Hodgkin lymphoma and anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
Using advanced immunohistochemistry technology, our expert pathologists can visualise exactly where and how much CD30 protein is expressed in your tissue sample. This information is vital because CD30-positive cancers may respond differently to treatment, and targeted therapies are available that specifically attack cells expressing this marker.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your loved one are experiencing:
- Unexplained swollen lymph nodes that persist for weeks
- Unexplained fever, night sweats, or weight loss
- Previous diagnosis of lymphoma requiring treatment monitoring
- Abnormal biopsy results suggesting CD30-positive cancers
- Need for targeted therapy selection for lymphoma treatment
Many South African patients find this test provides the clarity needed to move forward with confidence in their treatment plan.
