What this test measures
This test measures the level of the named protein in your blood. Elevated levels can occur in specific cancers but also in benign conditions.
Tumor markers alone do not diagnose cancer. They are most useful for monitoring known disease. Always interpret results with an oncologist or your treating doctor.
Who should take it
People with a known diagnosis monitoring treatment response or recurrence; people with specific symptoms requiring evaluation; high-risk screening as advised by an oncologist.
What your results mean
An elevated marker is not a cancer diagnosis. Levels must be interpreted alongside imaging, biopsy and clinical context by a specialist. A normal level does not rule out cancer.
