Overview
The purpose of the Immunohistochemistry SOX-11 Test is to detect SOX-11 protein expression in tissue samples, aiding in the diagnosis of specific cancers such as Mantle cell lymphoma and certain leukemias/lymphomas. It helps differentiate between cancer types, guide treatment decisions, and assess prognosis, especially when other tests are inconclusive.

Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- Inadequate sample size or quality
- Missing clinical history or biopsy site information
- Improperly fixed or degraded tissue
Understanding Your Results
Positive
SOX-11 protein is expressed, suggesting Mantle cell lymphoma or other SOX-11-associated cancers. Correlation with clinical data is recommended.
Negative
No SOX-11 protein expression detected. May indicate other conditions or rule out certain cancers, but further evaluation may be needed.
Consult your doctor if you have symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, fatigue, persistent headaches, seizures, memory loss, or balance problems, or if other tests are inconclusive for cancer or neurological disorders.
Limitations
- ⚠Not a standalone diagnostic; must be correlated with histopathology and clinical findings
- ⚠Limited to SOX-11 protein detection; does not assess other biomarkers
- ⚠Results may vary based on tissue quality and laboratory conditions
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risks associated with biopsy collection, such as bleeding or infection at the site
- ●No risks from the laboratory test itself
Interfering Factors
- ●Inadequate tissue fixation
- ●Sample degradation or contamination
- ●Technical issues in antibody application
