S-100 Protein
SAMPLE REQUIREMENT
The S-100 test looks for a specific protein that acts like a “name tag” for certain cells in your body. Finding this protein helps gather important clues about a tumor’s origin.
S-100 is a critical marker for:
• Melanocytic Tumors: A cornerstone for diagnosing melanoma, especially the challenging amelanotic variant. Serologic S-100B is valuable for staging and monitoring.
• Nerve Sheath Tumors: Highly sensitive for schwannomas.
• Other Neoplasms: Supports the diagnosis of astrocytomas, ependymomas, and various soft tissue and myoepithelial neoplasms.
