Find Clarity in Your Cancer Journey with Synovial Sarcoma SS18 Testing
When you’re facing concerns about a soft tissue mass or tumour, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. We understand that waiting for answers about a potential cancer diagnosis is one of the most stressful experiences anyone can face. Our Synovial Sarcoma SS18 genetic test provides the definitive answers you need to move forward with confidence and the right treatment plan.
Understanding Your Synovial Sarcoma SS18 Test
This specialised genetic test detects the specific SS18 gene rearrangement that confirms synovial sarcoma diagnosis. Using advanced FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) technology, we examine your tumour tissue sample to identify the genetic signature unique to this type of cancer. This isn’t just another test – it’s a crucial diagnostic tool that helps distinguish synovial sarcoma from other soft tissue tumours, ensuring you receive the most accurate diagnosis possible.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these concerns, this test could provide the answers you need:
- Unexplained soft tissue masses or lumps, especially in arms or legs
- Previous inconclusive biopsy results for soft tissue tumours
- Young adults (15-40 years) with suspicious soft tissue growths
- Patients needing definitive diagnosis before treatment planning
- Those with family history of soft tissue cancers
Many South Africans delay testing due to fear or uncertainty, but early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes.
