Finding Answers for Bone Pain and Unexplained Lumps
When you’re experiencing persistent bone pain, discovering unusual lumps, or facing uncertainty about a potential cancer diagnosis, the waiting and wondering can be overwhelming. We understand that fear and anxiety that comes with these symptoms. Our EWSR1 gene test provides the definitive answers you need about Ewing’s sarcoma – a rare but serious bone cancer that requires accurate diagnosis for effective treatment.
Understanding the EWSR1 Gene Test
The EWSR1 gene test is a highly specific genetic analysis that detects chromosomal rearrangements associated with Ewing’s sarcoma. Using advanced FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) technology, we examine your tumor tissue sample to identify the characteristic genetic changes that confirm or rule out this specific type of cancer. This isn’t just another screening – it’s a targeted investigation that gives you and your oncologist the precise information needed to make informed treatment decisions.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these concerning symptoms, this test could provide critical answers:
- Persistent bone pain, especially in arms, legs, ribs, or pelvis
- Unexplained lumps or swelling near bones
- Fractures that occur with minimal trauma
- Unexplained fever or weight loss with bone symptoms
- Previous inconclusive biopsy results requiring definitive diagnosis
- Family history of sarcoma or genetic cancer syndromes
Many patients tell us they waited too long because they hoped symptoms would resolve. Early testing can make all the difference in treatment success.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting the right diagnosis early transforms your treatment journey. With Ewing’s sarcoma, timely intervention significantly improves outcomes and can be life-saving. This test provides:
- Definitive Diagnosis: End the uncertainty and get clear answers
- Treatment Guidance: Help your medical team choose the most effective therapy
- Peace of Mind: Reduce anxiety by knowing exactly what you’re facing
- Time Advantage: Early detection means more treatment options and better outcomes
- Family Planning: Understand any genetic implications for your family
Understanding Your Test Results
We know waiting for results can be stressful. That’s why we provide clear, easy-to-understand reports within 7-8 days. Your results will clearly indicate whether the EWSR1 gene rearrangement is present, helping your oncologist confirm or rule out Ewing’s sarcoma. Our genetic counsellors are available to help explain your results and answer any questions you might have about next steps.
Remember: A positive result means we’ve identified the genetic markers, allowing for targeted treatment planning. A negative result provides valuable information to explore other potential causes for your symptoms.
