Cancer Marker Blood Test
From £849
We are proud to introduce a new blood test to our services.
In partnership with a UKAS accredited and CQC registered laboratory, our Cancer Marker Blood Test may help highlight an underlying health condition such as cancer.
Results from this blood test are usually within 2-5 days.
What does this Cancer Marker Blood Test include?
-
Neurone Specific Enolase (NSE) testing, a crucial biomarker for identifying and monitoring specific neuroendocrine tumours. Elevated NSE levels can indicate:
-Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC)
-Neuroblastoma
-Other Neuroendocrine Tumours (such as medullary thyroid cancer, carcinoid tumours)
-Merkel Cell Carcinoma
-Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma
-
Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) is a protein that is normally produced by the fetal liver, yolk sac, and gastrointestinal tract. In adults, elevated levels of AFP can be associated with certain types of cancers and other conditions.
Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC):
-
Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) is a protein that is present in small amounts in the blood of healthy adults. It is considered a tumor marker, as elevated levels can indicate the presence of certain types of cancer :
-Colorectal Cancer
-Breast Cancer
-Lung Cancer
-Pancreatic Cancer
-Gastric (Stomach) Cancer
-Medullary Thyroid Cancer
-
Cancer Antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) is a tumor marker primarily associated with gastrointestinal cancers, particularly pancreatic cancer.
-
Cancer Antigen 125 (CA 125) is a tumour marker primarily associated with ovarian cancer, although it can also be elevated in other gynecological and non-gynecological conditions such as:
-Ovarian Cancer
-Endometrial cancer
-Fallopian tube cancer
-
Cancer Antigen 15-3 (CA 15-3) is a tumour marker primarily associated with breast cancer, particularly advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
-
Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by both normal and malignant cells of the prostate gland. It is primarily known for its association with prostate cancer, but elevated levels can also be indicative of other prostate conditions.
We test 3 types of PSA:
-Total Prostate Specific Antigen
-Free Prostate Specific Antigen
-Free: Total PSA Ratio
