Synovial Sarcoma SS18 Test
Introduction to the Synovial Sarcoma SS18 Test
The Synovial Sarcoma SS18 test is a specialized diagnostic tool designed to detect synovial sarcoma, a rare but aggressive cancer that typically arises in the soft tissues around joints. This test is critical for patients suspected of having this type of cancer, as early detection can lead to more effective treatment options and improved patient outcomes.
What the Test Measures
This test utilizes Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) methodology to analyze paraffin-embedded tumor tissue blocks. It specifically detects genetic abnormalities associated with synovial sarcoma, including the SS18 gene rearrangement, which is pivotal for accurate diagnosis.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Individuals who exhibit symptoms such as persistent swelling, pain around joints, or have risk factors for soft tissue sarcomas should consider this test. Additionally, those with a family history of cancer or previous diagnoses of sarcomas may also benefit from this test.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Early and accurate diagnosis of synovial sarcoma.
- Guidance for treatment options based on genetic findings.
- Peace of mind for patients and their families.
Understanding Your Results
