Understanding Your Results
Positive for STAT-6
Presence of STAT-6 protein may indicate conditions like solitary fibrous tumor or other related cancers, requiring further clinical evaluation.
Action: Consult oncologist for diagnosis and treatment planning.
Negative for STAT-6
Absence of STAT-6 protein suggests other differential diagnoses; correlation with histopathology is recommended.
Action: Review with pathologist and consider additional tests.
When symptoms such as unexplained lumps, persistent pain, or histopathological findings suggest soft tissue tumors or cancer, or when STAT-6 test results are abnormal.
Limitations
- ⚠Not definitive for all cancer types
- ⚠Requires correlation with clinical and histopathological data
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risks associated with tissue biopsy, such as infection or bleeding
Interfering Factors
- ●Tissue fixation issues
- ●Sample degradation
- ●Technical errors in staining
