If you are not comfortable in extracting blood yourself then this test gives you the option to have your blood drawn at one of our clinical location.A test for a tumor marker called HE4 may be done along with a CA-125 blood test. An HE4 test is most often used to monitor women who have been treated for a common type of ovarian cancer called epithelial ovarian cancer.

Tumor Marker Female

AFP (Teratoma/Seminoma) Learn More

AFP is a protein secreted by the fetal yolk sac, liver and gastrointestinal tract and appears in high levels in the blood of the fetus. AFP can be secreted by NSGCT that contain embryonal carcinoma, yolk sac tumor or teratoma. By definition, seminoma or choriocarcinoma do not secrete AFP.

HCG-Beta (Teratoma/Seminoma) Learn More

In germ cell tumors of the testis, including both seminomas and NSGCT, cancerous cells can transform into syncytiotrophoblasts (a normal component of the placenta) and secrete HCG.

β2 Microglobulin (Myeloma) Learn More

This test measures the amount of a protein called beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) in the blood, urine, or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). B2M is a type of tumor marker. Tumor markers are substances made by cancer cells or by normal cells in response to cancer in the body.

CA 50 (Bladder/Colon) Learn More

the colon is a rare site of origin for distant bladder metastasis. Although this condition is infrequently encountered in clinical practice, the pos- sibility of metastatic involvement of the bladder should be always be considered when another primary cancer has been diagnosed.

CA 19-9 (Pancreas) Learn More

CA 19-9 is a type of tumor marker. Tumor markers are substances made by cancer cells or by normal cells in response to cancer in the body. Healthy people can have small amounts of CA 19-9 in their blood. High levels of CA 19-9 are often a sign of pancreatic cancer.

CA 125 (Ovary) Learn More

Cancer antigen 125 (CA 125) is the only tumor marker recommended for clinical use in the diagnosis and management of ovarian cancer. The reference range of CA 125 is 0-35 units/mL (0-35 kU/L).

CA 15-3 (Breast) Learn More

The cancer antigen 15-3 (CA 15-3) biomarker test is used to monitor breast cancer and its response to treatment. The CA 15-3 antigen is a protein released into the bloodstream by breast cancer, various other cancers, and even some benign (noncancerous) conditions.

CA 72-4 (Stomach) Learn More

CA72-4 is highly sensitive to gastric cancer, and the positive rate of serum CA72-4 in gastric cancer is reported to be 36% to 94%. And its specificity is also high, some of which even reach 100%.

CEA (Colon) Learn More

Serial CEA measurements can detect recurrent colorectal cancer with a sensitivity of approximately 80%, a specificity of approximately 70%, and can provide a lead time of approximately 5 months. A CEA value of greater than 8 ng/ml was highly suggestive of residual disease or recurrence, even when no clinical evidence was present. Approximately 90% of the patients dying from colorectal cancer showed an increase in CEA to greater than 8 ng/ml during the course of the disease.

CYFRA 21-1 Learn More

Cyfra 21-1 is a sensitive and specific tumor marker of NSCLC, especially of squamous cell subtype. It also reflects the extent of the disease and has an independent prognostic role along with performance status and disease stage in NSCLC.

HE4 Learn More

Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) is a secreted glycoprotein that is overexpressed by serous and endometrioid ovarian carcinomas. HE4 reference limit for healthy patients equals 85 pmol/l, which becomes 73 pmol/l and 93 pmol/l for pre and postmenopausal subgroups, respectively. There is a statistically significant correlation between HE4 serum level and smoking and there is no correlation with creatinine.

About this test and how it can help you

Some blood tests used to diagnose cancer include:

  • A test to count your blood cells. A complete blood count (CBC) measures the amount of each type of blood cell in a sample of your blood. Blood cancers may be found using this test.
  • A test that looks at the blood proteins. An electrophoresis blood test looks at the various proteins in your blood to find the ones made by your body's germ-fighting immune system. This test is helpful in diagnosing multiple myeloma.
  • Tests to find chemicals made by cancer cells. Tumor marker tests use a sample of blood to look for chemicals made by cancer cells.
  • Tests to look for cancer cells. Circulating tumor cell tests detect cancer cells in your blood. The cells might be in the blood if they've broken away from where they started and are spreading to other parts of the body. Circulating tumor cell tests are mostly used after a cancer diagnosis.
  • Tests to look for cancer cells' genetic material. These tests use a blood sample to look for small pieces of cancer cells' genetic material, called DNA. Healthy cells and cancer cells discard pieces or break apart as part of the natural process of growing and dying. These pieces of cells make their way into the blood so that the body can dispose of them. Special tests look for these cell pieces in a sample of blood.

High tumor marker levels can be a sign of cancer. Along with other tests, tumor marker tests can help doctors diagnose specific types of cancer and plan treatment. Tumor marker tests are most commonly used to do the following: Learn if a person has cancer. Cancer blood tests may help your health care provider make a cancer diagnosis. Learn about cancer blood tests and how they're used. If your health care provider is worried you might have cancer, you might need more tests to be sure. Cancer blood tests are often part of this process.
