AN OVERVIEW
About CD117 Test
Why is the CD117 Test done?
CD117 is a protein that is found on the surface of certain cells. These CD proteins bind to a factor called stem cell factor thus enabling certain cells to grow. Sometimes, genetic conditions can cause mutation of CD117 and that makes them create conditions in the body like malignant growths. In order to begin treatment for cancers caused by the CD117 protein, it is essential to know the amount of this protein present in the body.
What does the CD117 Test measure?
CD or cluster of differentiation are markers associated with specific diseases. The presence or absence of these markers help doctors understand what is causing the patient to suffer the observed symptoms. These cell surface markers are used to:
- Recognize the type of the cell
- Identify the stage of differentiation
- Identify the cellular activity taking place within
The CD117 marker is associated with certain hematopoietic progenitors that can be found in the bone marrow. The identification of CD117 helps with the identification of diseases such as:
- gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs)
- mast cell diseases
- acute myeloid leukemia
- small cell lung carcinoma
- Ewing’s sarcoma
- chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction
The test also plays a role in helping differentiate between intra-abdominal mesenchymal tumors and gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
Potential risks/side effects associated with the CD117 Test
The flow cytometry technique requires blood samples from the patient. The process of collecting blood is called venipuncture (when drawn from the veins) and this technique is safe and can be painless. An experienced phlebotomist does know how to quickly and effectively draw blood from the veins.
Blood collection poses no threats to health but some people might suffer from weakness or itching around the area from where the blood was drawn. Some people might experience nausea or blood does not stop even after the needle is removed. These side effects usually go away on their own.

THINGS TO KNOW AFTER GETTING TESTED
Interpreting the CD117 Test results
Like all CD marker tests, the CD117 test will yield either a negative result or a positive one. The positive result is a clear indicator of tumors being present in the person’s body. Negative results mean the person is not suffering from any of the conditions mentioned above. But, unless mutated strains are also checked, it cannot be completely dismissed as a final result.
